ATLANTA - Atlanta Police announced the release of better quality photos showing a pair they believe have a connection to a northwest Atlanta homicide that took place in late January.
ATLANTA POLICE ASK FOR HELP IDENTIFYING SUSPECT IN FATAL SHOOTING
The photos show both a man believed to be a suspect in the case and another man who police have called a person of interest. Police say the pair had some sort of involvement in a fatal shooting from Jan. 27 that took place on Marietta Street.
Police say the suspect appears to be an older, bald, African-American man who was wearing gray pants and a black sweater when he was seen in surveillance video. In the photos the department provided, he can be seen walking with a cane, slightly ahead of the person of interest who was described as a heavyset African-American man wearing a gray hoodie, a gray hat and blue jeans.
Anyone who can identify either individual or provide additional information regarding this case is encouraged to submit an anonymous to through Crime Stoppers Atlanta by calling 404-577-TIP (8477).
Shortly after the shooting, the victim's family set up a GoFundMe account to help pay for funeral expenses and to take care of his three children, one of whom was born just a week before he was gunned down.
