Police offered a reward of 500,000 yuan ($78,600) to anyone who can provide information that would lead to the arrest of the suspect in a fatal shooting in front of a Chongqing bank on Friday.
Police has identified the suspect as Zhou Kehua, a 42-year-old from Ertang village, Jingkou township, Shapingba district of Southwest China’s Chongqing municipality.
The shooting occurred at about 9:34 am on Friday outside a Bank of China outlet in Shapingba district, when Zhou allegedly killed one person and wounded another two in a robbery attempt, Chongqing police said in a statement.
Zhou robbed a shoulder bag from the dead person, fled the scene and then took a motorcycle taxi, police said.
In a notice that was released to the public, police described Zhou as 167 cm tall and having a junior middle-school education.
He has a strong Chongqing accent and relatively dark skin, with a scar in his right eyebrow, police said.
Zhou has committed several robberies in Jiangsu and Hunan provinces as well as Chongqing since 2004, in which several people were killed and a large sum of cash was robbed, police said.
