Atlanta businessman Michael Gidewon will be remembered today during a Celebration of Life. The viewing and wake will be held at Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church.
A victim of violence, Gidewon was shot and killed on February 4 outside Republic Lounge which he co-owned with his brother.
As a result of the violence, the west Midtown business, opened in 2019, has announced that it will close its doors permanently.
A $100,000 reward is being offered as the search continues for the suspected shooter, identified as Jonathan David Sotto. The family, which has apparently known Sotto for 20 years, posted various photos of the wanted suspect on the club's social media site.
The viewing/wake for Gidewon is at 2:00 this afternoon.
