A man was found shot in the chest at a shopping center in Chamblee and died at the hospital Friday, police said.

The suspected shooter fled the scene outside a St. Vincent de Paul nonprofit office at 2050 Chamblee Tucker Road near Buford Highway around 7:45 a.m., according to Chamblee police.

The suspect, 31-year-old Jeremiah Clanton, is “known to use MARTA,” according to a police bulletin. He is considered armed and dangerous, authorities said.

Investigators obtained a photo of the alleged shooter from surveillance camera footage, officials said.

No other information has been released by police.
