NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - The family of a 28-year-old woman who was fatally shot while she was in a car with her two young children is urging anyone with information about the suspect in the case to come forward.

Tyekqua Nesbitt’s family members appeared at a press conference Wednesday and pleaded for the community to help them find the man police say shot her. Nesbitt’s twin sister says her family won’t be able to rest until he’s caught.

Authorities have identified the suspect as 41-year-old Tramaine Marquese Poole. The U.S. Marshals’ Violent Fugitive Task Force is offering up to $5,000 for information leading to his arrest.
