The Atlanta Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying a person of interest in the murder of parking deck security guard this week in Midtown.

Officers were called around 2:05 a.m. on Aug. 28 to 725 Spring Street NW, a parking garage near 3rd Street, where they say a 33-year-old man had been shot in the neck. The man died at the scene. 

Family members have identified the victim as 33-year-old Shadarrian Jacobs, a security guard at a Midtown parking garage. 

Police say someone was trying to stop two people who were attempting to break into vehicles inside the garage. The suspects then took off in a car and began firing. Jacobs was reportedly not involved, but a stray bullet fired by one of the suspects hit him in the neck while he was eating.

On Wednesday night, authorities released photos of a person interest in the case.
