Atlanta police are searching for a man suspected in a shooting that left another man seriously injured last month and have released video footage from the scene.
The suspect, who has not been identified, can be seen wearing a green shirt, riding a scooter and carrying a backpack in the video. The shooting took place July 30 near the intersection of Pine and Courtland streets downtown, Atlanta police spokeswoman Officer TaSheena Brown said.
Officers were called to the intersection on reports of a person shot and found a man suffering from a gunshot wound, Brown said. He was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Police have not released any updated information about his condition.
The newly released video, taken from the dashboard camera of a passing car, shows the victim wearing dark clothes and running across a one-way street downtown. Shortly after he crosses, the second man rides into view on his scooter.
As the man on the scooter comes to a stop at the corner, he appears to be tackled into a telephone pole by the first man in darker clothes. The two separate, then the man on the scooter appears to chase after the other man with his arm outstretched. From the video, it is not clear when shots were fired.
The man in green returns with his backpack and rides off on the scooter in the same direction from which he arrived. Atlanta police are asking for the public’s help to identify him.
