Long Beach police released video Tuesday of a man they believe to be
connected to the March 26th murder of 17-year-old Briana Soto.

Police said a suspect approached Soto around 8:30 p.m. as she walked
home from work, and was just steps away from her house, when she was shot.

Soto's mother Ana Morales said she had just gotten off the phone
Facetiming with Brianna when she heard gunshots outside their Long Beach
home. When she called her daughter back on the phone, a man answered,
but she could not understand his English.

Soto was hospitalized for four days before dying from her injuries.

Tuesday morning, Long Beach Police Chief Wally Hebeish asked for the
public's help in identifying the man in the video, who police believe to
be the suspect.

"I'm the father of a daughter, I'm a husband to a wife, I'm a public
servant to the community, and this is devastating for this family, as it
would be for any of us. It is unfortunate, it is tragic," Hebeish said.

"We're not going to stop investigating this crime until we find the
person responsible for taking Briana's life. "

Police say the suspect ran from the scene, removing several pieces of
clothing as he fled. In the video, the man in question is wearing a dark
hooded sweatshirt, dark pants, with a mask on his face.

Homicide investigators do not have a motive for the shooting.
