We now know the identity of an Atlanta man who was shot and killed inside his home two months ago.

What we know:

Darryl Weems was found gunned down inside his apartment along Joseph E. Lowery Blvd NW in September.

According to his family, the 62-year-old father of two had been battling cancer. They're asking for the public's help in tracking down his killer.

What they're saying:

"It has been a lot of heavy weight on me personally, to know how he died," Weems' sister told FOX 5. 

"We still don’t have any answers. I think that if we had answers, it would sit with us a little better," Weems' daughter told FOX 5. "The fact that we don’t have any answers, nobody has been arrested."

What we don't know:

It's unclear why Weems was shot and killed.

Police have not identified a suspect in the case.

Family members are hoping someone will come forward with information that will help investigators catch Weems' killer.

The Source: FOX 5 spoke with Darryl Weems' sister and daughter, who asked not to be identified by name because their family member's killer has not been caught.
