Police are seeking help from the public to locate a suspect involved in a fatal shooting at an Ohio gas station, who is still at large.

Damario McCall, 41, is the suspect accused of fatally shooting 26-year-old Ar’mon Covington early Sunday morning at approximately 4:15 a.m. at the BP gas station on 778 Grant Street in Akron. Upon arrival, officers discovered Covington suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, and he was declared dead soon after.

The Akron Police Department’s investigation found that a suspect “had been allegedly harassing women in the parking lot.” After Covington stepped in, the suspect—later identified as McCall—allegedly fired several shots at him, according to police.

The suspect then reportedly drove away from the scene in a red SUV.

McCall has warrants out for his arrest for murder, illegal possession of a weapon, and carrying a concealed weapon. He is described as standing 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing about 195 pounds. He was last wearing glasses “with thick prescription lenses.”

He should be considered armed and dangerous, police added.

Akron Police Lt. Michael Murphy called the shooting “horrible.”

“The suspect shot our victim at close range and walked away like it was nothing,” he told Cleveland’s ABC affiliate, WEWS.

Na’Tosha Covington, Ar’mon Covington’s mother, said her son’s death is “a different kind of hurt.”

“It’s unexplainable,” she said, adding that he was her only son and youngest child.

“What in your right mind made you feel like ‘I’m God today and I’m going to take your life’?” she also said in comments to the outlet. “I just really hope that they catch this guy and get him off the street; keep him from harassing other women, from hurting other people. I don’t want any other mother, father, family member to have to go through this.”

McCall had been released from prison earlier this year after being there since 2009, WEWS also reported, citing the Ohio Department of Corrections.
