The FBI and Atlanta police are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a man wanted in connection with the shooting death of a DeKalb County teenager.

Dwight Lewis faces a charge of murder in the Feb. 2 shooting, which killed 16-year-old Columbia High School student Keosha Tinch.

Channel 2's Lori Wilson reports.

According to police, Tinch was in the back of an SUV that entered a gated apartment community in the 2900 block of Campbellton Road in southwest Atlanta.

Lewis, 26, allegedly pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and began firing at the SUV. There was an exchange of gunfire. Tinch was shot in the head and died one week before her birthday.

Lewis is 6-foot-5, weighs about 200 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes, the FBI said.
