The Cleveland Division of Police is asking for the public's help identifying a man caught on surveillance video in connection with a shooting that happened at Save-A-Lot last weekend.
The shooting happened just after 8 a.m. at the Save-A-Lot located at 11905 Superior Ave. on July 27.
A 39-year-old woman was shot during an attempted robbery. According to a report from the department, a responding officer spoke to the victim's coworker, who said she was the manager of the store.
Police said surveillance video showed the man appeared to be suspicious before pulling a gun and pointing it at a register. He then began pushing the victim towards the store's back office, where the safe was, after the victim showed some resistance.
Once they were close to the office, they went out of the camera's frame, police said.
The unknown man ran off after the shooting and is still on the loose, police said. He was described as being between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet tall, weighing 200-230 pounds, and wearing a gray Nike hoodie with blue ripped jeans and white shoes. He also wore a black face mask.
The woman was taken to a nearby hospital and is in critical condition.
Anyone with information about the man's identity is asked to call the Fifth District Detective Bureau at 216-623-2599 and speak with Detective Howard.
