DL Employee shot and killed in ATL Employee Parking Lot
Awful news on CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/27/us/de...nta/index.html.
Prayers to his family and colleagues. Terrifying that whatever happened took place at ATL, too.
PS: Not important on the story, but had to do a double take with that stock photo of DL jets at ATL. Might be time for a refresh.

For those who didn't look at the CNN coverage, a thirty-year-old female employee was found in an employee parking lot at ATL around 10:30 pm Sunday night. She had been shot several times. She was named but no information was given regarding the nature of her job at DL.

Are you sure? I'm not aware of any airport where employees park in SIDA. (Except FAA ATC) Inside a secure area, yes. Inside the SIDA, no. The fact was shot at least suggests this is true at ATL. Otherwise employees would be having their vehicles searched everytime they enter.

Does ATL or DL provide escorts to/from cars when employees must arrive and depart from these parking lots at odd hours?

There are shuttles that operate to/from the airport for the employees to the off-site lots. Now, whether they shuttle people around inside the parking lot or not to their specific vehicle is a question I can't answer, but my guess is that they just have one or two generic "stops" for the entire lot.
