ATLANTA — Police are recirculating surveillance video of a man they want to talk to about an unsolved murder near a crowded park.

Antonio Brown, 28, died Saturday when police say someone shot him near Perkerson Park.

Investigators said a man is caught on several surveillance cameras in the area of the shooting before and after it happened.

Brown’s family said they recognize him.

“He’s been to my aunt’s house before,” said Jasmine Brown.

Antonio Brown was her cousin.

She said he had a clothing line, and the man in the video has purchased clothes from him before.

“He’s wearing the clothing,” said Jasmine Brown.

Police said the man is anywhere from 5’9” tall to 6’ tall. The day of the shooting, investigators said he was wearing a black T-shirt with a long-sleeved while shirt underneath it.

After the shooting, they said he was carrying the black T-shirt and wearing the white long sleeve. He also had a black backpack on.

He was wearing black jeans with big white letters running down the back of the leg.

“I couldn’t sleep last night,” said Jasmine Brown. “It is strange to know that someone is walking around, free. Not only that, I think he posted on his page somebody pray for the family.”

She said her aunt is struggling to pay for her son’s burial.

They have started a GoFundMe online fundraiser to try to help her.

“It’s truly devastating to have to go through this process. We just need your prayers,” said Jasmine Brown.
