Atlanta police are offering a $10,000 reward for anyone that has information on the person suspected of destroying a Wendy’s restaurant where a black man was shot dead by a white police officer.
The restaurant was left burning on Saturday after protests erupted following the Friday night killing of Rayshard Brooks.
Police distributed photos on Sunday of a suspect “attempting to hide her identity.” The department also cited a video posted to social media that depicted the woman. Officials said information on other possible suspects is also welcome.

An officer, identified as Garrett Rolfe, fired approximately three times after Brooks resisted arrest and appeared to point a Taser at officers. Rolfe was fired from the department while another officer who was present, Devin Brosnan, was placed on administrative leave.
Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields also resigned on Saturday after the incident.
The incident followed weeks of unrest after the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
