Elliot Otu-Awuku, Atlanta, GA — The Atlanta and Ghanaian communities are grieving the loss of Elliot Otu-Awuku, who passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, October 20, 2024, at just 30 years old. Known for his vibrant personality and love for dancing, Elliot also had a passion for photography, capturing memories with skill and creativity.

Elliot had relocated to the United States three years ago, where he lived with his uncle and aunt, Mr. Michael Ahenfo and Mrs. Pokuaa Twum, in Atlanta. His presence brought immense joy to his family, who are now left heartbroken by this sudden and devastating loss. Elliot’s father and three sisters, along with extended family and friends in both Ghana and Atlanta, are deeply affected by his passing.
