ATLANTA (DailyKenn.com) — A 20-year-old man has been charged with murder in the August shooting death of 29-year-old Alexis Jane Harlow, whose decomposing body was discovered naked and riddled with gunshot wounds inside an abandoned storage unit behind a southwest Atlanta shopping plaza.

Police responded to a 911 call around 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 13 at a business complex on Campbellton Road SW, where a worker cleaning nearby trash had spotted the body and alerted authorities. Officers found Harlow inside the locked storage compartment, which witnesses said she had been using as makeshift housing for several months. The scene showed signs of a violent struggle, with multiple shell casings recovered nearby.
Reginald Elliot, who had been in Fulton County Jail since Aug. 28 on unrelated charges of carrying a weapon at a school and marijuana possession, was identified as the suspect through surveillance footage from the area and ballistic evidence linking him to the casings. Authorities believe the shooting occurred at least 24 hours before the body was found.
Elliot now faces additional counts of aggravated assault, tampering with evidence, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Homicide detectives continue to investigate the circumstances leading to the shooting, including any prior relationship between Elliot and Harlow. No motive has been publicly released.
In the days following the discovery, Greater Atlanta Crime Stoppers offered a $5,000 reward for tips leading to an arrest, which helped generate leads in the case. Community members described Harlow as a familiar presence in the neighborhood, often seen around the plaza.
Elliot is being held without bond, with his next court appearance pending.
