Atlanta police are searching for two people, a man considered a suspect and a woman thought to be a person of interest, in connection with a fatal shooting Friday outside of MARTA’s Five Points station.
Investigators are working to identify a man suspected in the shooting and a woman who was seen accompanying him on security video, Atlanta police spokesman Officer Anthony Grant said in a news release. The reward for information leading to an arrest in this case has been increased to $5,000.
Officers responded to the pedestrian-only Broad Street in downtown Atlanta shortly after 2:15 p.m. about a person shot. At the scene, they found an unconscious man with a gunshot wound. He was taken to the hospital but later died.
Police have not released further information about the shooting or the identity of the victim.
