Cops: Resident killed by burglar in East Atlanta Village

A resident was killed Monday while walking in on a burglary at an East Atlanta Village apartment complex, Atlanta police said.

Alexan EAV, located at 1205 Metropolitan Ave. SE, is the scene, a police spokesman said.

There was no immediate word on a suspect, but police released a photo of a man they want to question. The police don't yet know if the man is a suspect or just a passerby.

Do you know this man? If so, @Atlanta_Police needs your help trying to ID him. They want to Q him - since he was spotted near complex. #wsb pic.twitter.com/a7L7OAQSSs
