Last weekend, police asked local business owners or residents to share any footage they had that might be related to the death of Nurhusen Hamid. He was killed while working at an auto shop in the 6300 block of New Hampshire Avenue, just over the DC line, on the morning of July 16.

On Friday, police released a photo of the suspect and the white SUV he used to flee the scene of the crime.

The suspect shot Hamid in the parking lot of his workplace, Advanced Auto Parts. Police said their investigation revealed that the suspect walked away onto Eastern Avenue, and then got into a white SUV which drove away on New Hampshire Avenue into DC

Hamid later died at a hospital.

It’s unclear whether the updated information about where the suspect went after the murder came from reviewing submitted security footage.
