Atlanta police announced the identity of a McDonald’s employee who remains at large after being accused of shooting his manager during an argument Friday afternoon.

Christopher Jean-Pierre, 21, is wanted on multiple charges related to the shooting that left his manager critically injured at the fast-food restaurant in East Atlanta Village, police said Monday. Jean-Pierre is facing counts of criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated assault, aggravated battery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

The manager, identified by McDonald’s representatives as Elizabeth Williams, was taken to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds, Channel 2 Action News reported. Police did not provide an update on her condition Monday.

A dispute between Jean-Pierre and Williams escalated to the point that Williams asked the employee to leave the property, police said. Jean-Pierre left, but returned later and confronted Williams outside. During the confrontation, Jean-Pierre shot Williams several times, then fled the scene, police said.

Investigators are still working to locate Jean-Pierre. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call 911.
