Atlanta police have released surveillance video in hopes of finding four suspects accused of killing a man over his SUV.
Martin Hvizda, 31, was shot and killed last Saturday at an Exxon gas station on Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard. Police said he had stopped there to use the restroom.
Police said Hvizda was shot once when a gunman entered the passenger side of his SUV. He ran into the store for help, but police said he died before medics arrived.
The carjackers got away in the victim's silver Infiniti FX.

“These young kids are reckless and have no heart,” Exxon customer Joshua Evans said. “For them to actually go through that and they don’t know him. Why? Why him? Why kill him? Why not just leave and take the car?”
Family members told Channel 2's Nefertiti Jaquez that Hvizda was a local artist who was loving, kind and full of life. They said his dream was to have his work showcased as part of an exhibit. The family said they will have a private funeral Saturday morning. They said they want to fly Hvizda's body back to Slovakia to be buried.
Anyone with information on the case should call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
