ATHENS, Ga. (CBS/AP) A pregnant convenience store clerk was stabbed to death Dec. 30 inside an Athens gas station where she worked.

Authorities Tuesday released a sketch of a suspect in the fatal stabbing of Kejuan Charde Hall, who turned 25 on Christmas Eve, and was planning to tell her relatives about her pregnancy on New Year's Eve.

Police are calling the case a double homicide.

The sketch portrays a man, who appears to be in his late 20s, wearing a dark knit cap, reports local news station WSB-TV. Police said the man weighs approximately 180 pounds and is about 5 feet 8 inches tall, according to the station.

Police are also seeking another suspect in the case believed to be a woman, reports WSB-TV.

Athens-Clarke County police Capt. Clarence Holeman said a preliminary autopsy report confirmed that Hall was eight weeks pregnant. Holeman said the suspects will be charged with Hall's murder as well as feticide.

Police have not determined a motive in the killing.

Investigators say the only thing stolen from the store was the security video footage of the crime.

Authorities have offered a $6,000 reward in the case. Police urge anyone with information to call the Crime Stoppers tip line at 706-613-3342.
