According to online reports, police have a person of interest in the shooting death of Traxx owner Durand Robinson.
Robinson, 50, (pictured above left) was found lying in the middle of Hadlock street with a gunshot wound to the chest in the early morning hours of August 25th. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say Robinson may have been a victim of a carjacking. The suspect fled the scene in Robinson’s pickup truck, but crashed a few minutes later and fled on foot.
It isn’t clear if the man is currently in police custody.
“I spoke with Major [Keith] Meadows (Major Crimes Commander). He advises we do have person of interest but are withholding the name at this time,” said APD spokesman Sgt. Curtis Davenport in an email to the Georgia Voice.
Even though Durand was one of the key organizers of Atlanta’s annual black gay pride event, he denied being gay himself.
