A wanted poster is seen in a Nanjing metro station. Police have put up posters around the city with photos of the man they are seeking in connection with the killing of a customer outside a bank during a robbery. Police believe the man is also responsible for other killings. |
A suspect sought in connection with a fatal shooting in Nanjing is still at large after five days of an intensive manhunt in the capital city of eastern Jiangsu Province.

A customer was shot in the head and robbed last Friday as he was leaving a bank having withdrawn 200,000 yuan ($31,700) in cash. Surveillance camera footage of the suspect making his escape was released by the police on Sunday.
Thousands of officers were drafted in to take part in the hunt for the suspect believed to be a former policeman who is implicated in a series of killings and robberies dating back to 2004.
Criminal investigation experts including Chen Zhen, deputy director of Shanghai police, went to Nanjing to offer assistance after the robbery.
The identity of the killer is still unclear, analysts said.
"The Ministry of Public Security of China would have issued an A-class wanted circular in this case but so far there isn't one, which means the police still don't have the exact identity of the killer," said Yang Zeqiang, general director of Shanghai's criminal investigation department.
According to a description released by the Nanjing police, the suspect is around 40 years old and 1.7 to 1.8 meters tall. He has tanned skin, splay feet and wore dark colored clothes. He doesn't speak fluent Mandarin, police said.
The description was still too vague to positively identify the suspect, Yang said.
However, there are some who believe him to a be a man on the B-class wanted list called Zeng Kaigui. He is alleged to have killed a man in an armed robbery in southwestern Yunnan Province in 1995.
Both Zeng and the Nanjing suspect are of similar build, around the same age and had shot their robbery victims dead.
