(WSB Radio) Atlanta police are hunting for the gunman who shot and killed a beer delivery man in broad daylight.

The worker was shot on Monday afternoon, while making a delivery at the BP station at the corner of Hill Street and Memorial Drive, not far from the state capitol.

"We haven't had any shootings in this area in quite some time," says APD homicide Lieutenant Keith Meadows.  "It hadn't been an area that's been problematical for us."

Meadows says the suspect got into a fight with the victim when he tried to rob him and later shot the man. 

The incident was caught on surveillance tape, and Meadows says the video allows police to rule out certain suspects.

"He has some rather nice clothing on and he was clean cut," Meadows says, "so there's nothing to suggest he was a homeless person."

Meadows says police are hoping the timing of the shooting will help solve the crime.

"It happened right in broad daylight," he says, "and we have a number of witnesses who saw the actual shooting itself, so we're in the process of questioning them."
