ATLANTA — Police are still trying to identify a suspect and a person of interest in the deadly shooting of a 21-year-old man near the former RaceTrac in Downtown Atlanta earlier this year.
They are increasing the reward to $5,000 for anyone who can help them identify the suspect and person of interest.
The shooting happened on Sunday, Feb. 25, near the RaceTrac located on Piedmont Avenue. Police found Javare Shakir-Fulford, 21, shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police released a video and the following photos of the two people they believe could be involved in the incident:
Significant public safety issues affecting the gas station near Georgia State University's campus made the company close the Piedmont Avenue location. Shortly after the location shuttered its doors due to the safety issues, another shooting happened.
There have been previous violent incidents at this gas station, which GSU students told 11Alive back in October was the source of lots of trouble. The conversation came after four people, including two students, were shot near the gas station at an off-campus location in November, leading to the death of a 19-year-old woman.
Atlanta Police is asking anyone who might be able to identify the individuals to contact the department's homicide unit at (404) 546-4235. Those who want to stay anonymous can do so by calling (404) 577-8477 or submitting a tip online here.
