Police searching for suspect in downtown Atlanta shooting
Atlanta police released surveillance footage Tuesday in the hope it will lead to an arrest in the murder of a 23-year-old man.
Security video shows a man in a green hat, white and yellow jacket and white pants approach the victim at a convenience store on the 40 block of Broad Street in downtown Atlanta on Saturday.
The suspect then follows the victim outside and the two begin to argue, police said. Soon after, the alleged gunman opened fire. The incident occurred near the Five Points MARTA station.
The victim was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he later died.
