Police are still working to find a gunman days after a woman was shot and killed at a southwest Atlanta park.

Atlanta police on Monday released surveillance footage of the suspect in the fatal incident, which happened at Deerwood Park on Alexandria Drive.

When officers arrived at the park about 7 p.m. Friday, they found a woman lying in the street, department spokesman Officer Anthony Grant said. Elexcia Banks, 40, was pronounced dead of a gunshot wound.

According to a police report, Banks was spending time with friends inside the park when “unexpected gunfire” erupted from the nearby street.
