Atlanta police have released video and photos of two people they believe were involved in a shooting outside a dormitory near Georgia State University on February 25.

It happened in front of a Racetrack gas station at 120 Piedmont Avenue NE near the intersection of John Wesley Dobbs Avenue NE and Piedmont.

A 21-year-old man was killed in the shooting. At the time of the shooting, it was the fourth shooting in the same area in just over a year.

A few days after the shooting, RaceTrac's CEO said they had decided to close the business for safety and financial reasons.

However, a business owner named Baktari Lakhari recently submitted an application to the city to open a supermarket at this location.
