Rome police still searching for suspect in nightclub killing
Rome police are asking the public for help in identifying a man who they hope will help them solve the killing of Travious Floyd.
Detectives are asking for any video or photos taken at The Peach nightclub that may help in the investigation, said Capt. Mark Tison. They are particularly interested in a man who was wearing a gray zip-up hoodie.
Police previously said Floyd was shot and killed around 1:45 a.m. on May 24 while standing in a crowd on West 5th Avenue. A man reportedly stepped out of a black late-model Dodge Challenger with “light colored stripes” before firing several shots.
Police previously released a sketch of a suspect, who is believed to be a metro Atlanta resident. Witnesses described the man as between 20 and 25 years old and between 5-foot-7 and 5-10. Just before the shooting, he reportedly was seen on stage with a rapper named Bandit Gang Marco during his performance.
Marco, whose website says he grew up on Atlanta’s Westside, said on Instagram he wasn’t involved in the killing.
Anyone with information is asked to call 706-238-5111. Information may also be submitted anonymously through the Crime Line at 706.236.5000 or through the Romefloyd.com website.
