Police searching for man wanted in fatal shooting at Atlanta gas station

ATLANTA – Investigators are asking the public for help in finding a man believed to be involved in a deadly shooting in northwest Atlanta.

According to officials, officers were called to a BP gas station at the corner of Westland Boulevard and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive on the afternoon of Aug. 21.

At the scene, officers found a 41-year-old man who had been shot at least once.

The man was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition. He could not survive his injuries.

Investigators suspect the shooting stemmed from a dispute just down Westland Boulevard, just north of the MARTA rail line.

“There was a verbal exchange between him and another male, and he was shot in the silver car. He drove from Westland Boulevard to the BP and assisted with rendering aid,” said Lt. Andrew Smith, commander of the Atlanta Police Department’s Homicide Unit.

After weeks of investigating the case, detectives have released surveillance footage showing a man they believe was involved in the deadly violence.

According to authorities, the man was seen wearing a gray Champion hoodie, gray sweatpants and black sneakers.
