A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered to help solve the homicide of a 29-year-old woman, Atlanta police said Monday.
The body of Alexis Jane Harlow was found Wednesday in a storage space at a southwest Atlanta shopping complex a day or more after she was killed, officials said.
Police responded to an area behind the complex in the 2000 block of Campbellton Road, between Delowe and Myrtle drives, around 11:30 a.m. An incident report reveals that the victim was naked and “in a partial state of decomposition” when she was found.

“Another male located her inside, and that’s when he flagged down a worker back here who called 911,” Atlanta police homicide commander Lt. Andrew Smith told Channel 2 Action News at the scene.
According to the incident report, the victim had been shot in the head. She was identified by police as Harlow.
Personnel with the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the scene and told Channel 2 the woman had been dead for at least 24 hours.
Smith told the news station that police were planning to review surveillance footage. Businesses near the scene include a grocery store, beauty store, restaurants, furniture outlet and a Dollar Tree.
“We don’t have a lot to go on at this point, but we’re hoping that the video and canvassing will help us,” Smith stated.
A day after Harlow was found, officials said they received a call from a man stating the victim used his phone to call his brother before the incident, the incident report details.
Through Aug. 9, Atlanta police had investigated 59 homicides this year, down 25% over the same time in 2024, according to department crime data.
The Atlanta police officer investigating the case, Det. Q. Green, can be reached at 404-326-0156. Anyone with information on the case can remain anonymous and still be eligible for the reward by contacting Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477, texting information to 274637 or visiting the Crime Stoppers website.
