Decatur police are searching for a man suspected in a carjacking Friday evening and released photos as they seek help from the public to identify him.
The incident took place just after 6:30 p.m. at a new shopping center anchored by a Publix at 200 North Arcadia Avenue, police said on social media. A woman was sitting in her Honda HR-V in a parking space when the man approached and pulled out a silver handgun, police said.
