Remains sit behind vacant house for weeks before tip

Tonight, Atlanta police need help finding out who killed the man in southwest Atlanta. Police say the remains of 57-year-old Rayshawn Tuli were found behind an abandoned home. Fox News' Tara Chabot joins us live from Atlanta police headquarters to tell us what police had to say about this. Tara. Well, Courtney, Atlanta police say that they received several tips about Rayshawn Tuli and that his body could be behind an abandoned home. So they say that they went to that home last Monday and they found his remains behind that abandoned home on Susan Lane Southwest. Now, the Sandy Springs Police K-9 unit helped Atlanta police. Find those remains. Police say they knew Tuli was shot several times in the torso and on other parts of his body. Tuli was known in that neighborhood. Police say that he was homeless and he didn't have any family, but he did have some very close friends. Police say right now they need people to come forward who may know what happened to Tuli. This whole thing started from a Crime Stoppers tip. So if it wasn't for that, we might not have stumbled on Mr. Rayshawn Tuli's death. We are needing some assistance from other witnesses and people that may have been involved or know about this incident. Now, police say that Tuli's remains could have been there for two to four weeks. If you have any information, contact the Atlanta Police Department. Reporting live from Atlanta Police Headquarters, Tara Jabbour, Fox 5 News. Yeah, and I imagine in these cases, Tara, that police, you know, sort of throw out a canvas in that area, really going door to door to find out any kind of information that they can. Yeah, absolutely. And you know, our photographer, David Gassey, went out to that neighborhood this afternoon. He says it was a very quiet neighborhood. There wasn't a lot of people around. But I am assuming that some of those neighbors did know Tuli because police say that he was homeless. And so he was around that area a lot. All right. Tara Jabbour live for us. Thanks, Tara.
