Kroger Atlanta Division is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the death of Josh Richey, a 38-year-old father of four from Hayden, Ala. Richey was shot and killed at the Kroger at 725 Ponce de Leon Ave. on March 10 when he interrupted a thief trying to steal his work vehicle.

So far, no arrests have been made in the case. Kroger is continuing to cooperate with the Atlanta Police Department in their investigation. The Atlanta Police Department released surveillance video Tuesday that showed the two suspects and the car, a black BMW, that is believed they used to flee the scene.

Anyone with any information about the case should call Crime Stoppers at (404) 577-8477.

Richey’s employer, RGWilliams Construction based in Homer, Ga., has also set up a fund to help the Richey family. Donations to the Josh Richey Memorial Fund can be made at any SunTrust Bank. The account number is 1000177716346.
