Detective J.J. Biello succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained on April 15th, 1987, while working a secondary employment job at an Italian restaurant at 4387 Roswell Road NE.

An armed juvenile entered the restaurant and announced a robbery. As he had an employee remove money from the cash register Detective Biello approached him from behind and identified himself. The juvenile turned around and opened fire, striking Detective Biello in the neck, abdomen and chest.

As the subject fled the scene another officer fired several shots at him, wounding him. He was arrested a short time later at a local hospital.

Detective Biello's wounds rendered him a quadriplegic and he was confined to a wheelchair. On July 29th, 2019, he succumbed to complications of the original gunshot wounds.

The subject who shot him was convicted of aggravated assault and armed robbery and sentenced to 60 years following the initial incident.

At the time of the shooting Detective Biello had served with the Atlanta Police Department for 15 years.
