ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) — Albany police are asking for the community’s help locating the fifth suspect in the deadly shooting of an 15-year-old boy.

In social media post, Albany Police Department (APD) said it is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to the location of Lametrious Sear, a suspect wanted in connection to the death of 15-year-old Austin Payne.

Payne was found shot and killed at an abandoned Albany apartment on Cameo Lane the morning of Nov. 1.
