Baltimore City police are asking people to take a hard look at new pictures pulled of the suspect from video police tell WJZ was recorded moments after a woman was killed in cold blood off Rosalin Avenue.
"He has a particular limp," said TJ Smith.
Neighbors say Ashburne was a church-going woman who kept to herself.
"I tried to comfort her while she was laying there," said a neighbor. "To try to keep her alert and everything."
Police say Ashburne was killed early Friday morning as she made her way to her car, fatally shot as she attempted to run from the gunman.
"We don't have a motive in this case. We don't know why this took place and it's absolutely concerning," Smith said.
