"She was sitting in the passenger seat of her car so she's not in control of her vehicle. We don't know at that point if she truly was kidnapped or there willingly," Detective Vincent Velazquez, with the Atlanta Police Department, said.

Police believe these two males may have been involved with Shiel's murder.

Atlanta police are asking for anyone who may have seen Shiel shortly before her death to call them.
