Atlanta Police activity near where security guard was shot dead

Here's what we know.

ATLANTA — Atlanta Police are operating Wednesday afternoon in the area where a security guard was shot and killed near a restaurant on Cleveland Avenue just west of Interstate 75 Monday.

11Alive's Joe Henke is on scene, and reported seeing officers with guns drawn at one location.

Police told him that they're working on gathering more information, but at the moment can "confirm that a person fled from police and officers pursued on foot."

An officer hurt his knee in the pursuit, police said, but did not say how.

It was not clear if that person had any relation to the shooting of the security guard.

"The person who fled is not identified yet and I cannot confirm what he may be connected to," Steve Avery with the Atlanta Police Public Affairs Unit said. "This is still an active scene and we have to let the officers work."

On Tuesday, police released surveillance video of 51-year-old Anthony Frazier being shot and killed at the strip mall near 3rd Avenue and Cleveland Avenue. The suspect could be clearly seen approaching Frazier from behind.

The shocking video also shows a bystander who sat nearby as Frazier was killed and three others who appear to have come upon his body and stolen from him as he was on the ground.
