By Zak Failla From Daily Voice

He lit a cigarette and walked away — now police want to know who he is.

Detectives have released new surveillance images of the man wanted in connection with the July 12 shooting death of 31-year-old DC resident Deon Damien Thomas in Oxon Hill.

“In the video, the suspect is seen walking away from the scene immediately after the murder,” the Prince George’s County Police Department said.

The video can be seen here.

It happened around 8:20 p.m. in the 5100 block of Indian Head Highway, where officers found Thomas outside, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police now say the man caught on surveillance video — wearing a dark Adidas hoodie, jeans, and sneakers, with a cigarette in his mouth — is believed to be the shooter.

The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit released video of the suspect wanted in connection with a fatal shooting on Saturday in Oxon Hill.
