Atlanta police released video Friday of a second suspect wanted in connection with last week's shooting of four female college students near the Atlanta University Center.

The 20-second video shows a young male, wearing a black jacket with white stripes along the sleeves and green pants.

Police are asking anyone with information about the man to call 404-577-TIPS(8477).

The shooting took place at an unauthorized block party on Aug. 20 at about 10:30 p.m., across the street from the AUC Robert W. Woodruff Library. Two Clark Atlanta University and two Spelman College students who police said were unintended targets were wounded. The students suffered non life-threatening injuries.

The Atlanta University Center schools have increased security on their campuses since the shooting. The schools are also working on an agreement with Atlanta police to increase security on the campuses and the library, Spelman College President Mary Schmidt Campbell said in a message posted on the school’s website.
