Police hope the public can assist investigators in identifying a person of
interest in connection with last month's North Main Street homicide investigation.
Columbia Police investigators want to
identify and locate a man caught on camera to determine if he has information regarding the
case.
The homicide victim was found
shot and lying in the roadway at the 3800 block of North Main Street on September 16.
The man, later identified as Michael L. Davis, was pronounced
deceased at a local hospital.
Investigators also continue
searching for a 1996 white, 4-door Mazda Protégé that was seen on surveillance
video at the time of the incident.
The rear tail lights,
including the brake lights, may be damaged or not working properly.
Police believe that the
car did not have a tag at the time of the murder.
While the investigation
continues, CPD officers believe that the victim was in possession of the car at
the time of the incident.
Chief Scott encourages citizens to
call authorities if they recall seeing the vehicle in that area on
September 16 or if they know where it can be found.
If you recognize the male seen in surveillance video, you are encouraged to leave an anonymous tip to Crimestoppers in any
of the following ways: Call
toll-free, 1-888-CRIME-SC, Text
to CRIMES (274637), and mark the beginning of
the message with "TIPSC," followed by the tip information, or log
onto: www.midlandscrimestoppers.com, and click on the red "Submit a tip" tab.
Tipsters could
earn a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of the
suspect.
