As the manhunt continues for 18-year-old Adarus Macio Black, who is wanted in the shooting death of Na'Kia Crawford, FBI officials have released an updated photo of the suspect in hopes the public may be able to help.

The new image was distributed Tuesday morning along with some additional that Black has family contacts in Northeast Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee and California.

Black, who has a state warrant for his arrest in the June 14 shooting, is described as 158-170 pounds and between 5’6” to 5’9” tall.
