Loganville police are set to step back in front of the cameras Monday at 3 p.m., promising new details in the still-unsolved shooting of a CVS employee who was gunned down outside the store in mid-November. The briefing comes as family, coworkers and neighbors keep pressing for answers in a case that has already pulled in state and federal partners, while investigators insist they are holding back specific details to protect the integrity of the probe.
What Police Plan To Share
The Loganville Police Department has scheduled a 3 p.m. news conference, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. The station reports that the victim is 62-year-old Kimberly Whaley and notes that a previously identified person of interest was questioned and then released when investigators said they did not have enough evidence to hold that individual. No charges have been filed in the killing, FOX 5 reports, and city officials cited the Loganville Police Department as the source for the announcement about Monday’s update.
Where The Shooting Happened
Whaley was shot on Nov. 14 in the parking lot of the CVS at 4377 Atlanta Highway and later died at Grady Memorial Hospital, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The outlet reports that coworkers and customers remembered her as a familiar, upbeat presence at the store, and that nearby businesses and a community fundraiser have stepped in to support her family. The paper also notes that investigators have urged anyone with information to contact the Loganville Police Department.
Who Is Working The Case
Loganville Police Chief M.D. Lowry has described the investigation as a multi-agency effort, telling reporters that detectives are “leaving no stone unturned” with help from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Secret Service, according to WSB‑TV. Lowry said the Secret Service brings technology and resources that local officers do not have, and officials have repeatedly stressed that some information is being withheld on purpose so they do not jeopardize the case.
What To Watch For Monday
Officials have not said whether Monday’s briefing will include new evidence, potential lead developments or something more procedural, but FOX 5 Atlanta reports the department has promised “new information” at the 3 p.m. news conference. Hoodline’s earlier reporting has tracked how the probe widened to include federal partners and how the tight-lipped approach from investigators has shaped community reaction. Reporters note that any public update on the case could either sharpen or expand the pool of tips that detectives are working through.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Clint Kitchens at 770‑466‑8087, as local outlets have reported. Police say even a detail that seems minor to a witness can be crucial in an active homicide investigation and are urging residents to come forward.
