‘Right in your back yard.’ Midtown residents make wary return to Piedmont Park

A week after the brutal killing of a woman and her dog inside Piedmont Park, Atlanta Midtown residents say they have not let the recent horror keep them away from the park, but have become more vigilant.

​

“People have a lot of questions about how that happened in (Piedmont Park) and how to be assured it won’t happen again,” said Midtown Neighbors’ Association President Courtney Smith, who attended the National Night Out event in Midtown on Tuesday evening. The event is a national one where law enforcement agencies across the county mingle with community members with the goal of creating safer neighborhoods.

‘A living jewel’: Bartender’s kidnapping, death shocks city on edge

In a city still reeling from the gruesome stabbing death of a woman walking her dog in Piedmont Park, Atlanta was once again stung by tragedy Friday morning when a woman was violently kidnapped outside her home and found shot to death hours later.

​

In the midst of an outpouring of grief and remembrance, multiple friends and coworkers confirmed the identity of the woman as Mariam Abdulrab, 27, to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. A bartender at Revery VR Bar in Midtown, Abdulrab was returning to her home in Chosewood Park, just south of Grant Park, from work in the early morning hours, friends say, when she was kidnapped outside her house at gunpoint.
