Investigation focuses on surveillance video from northwest Atlanta station

Atlanta police are searching for a suspect accused of stealing approximately $6,000 during an armed robbery at a gas station on Moores Mill Road NW, an incident that investigators say was captured on store surveillance video.

The robbery was reported on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026, at a station in the 1900 block of Moores Mill Road NW. Officers responded to the location after receiving a report of a robbery, police said.

Investigators reviewed video that they say shows the suspect pointing a gun at a store clerk and demanding money. Police said the suspect fled with about $6,000 in cash. No additional details were released about injuries, any medical response, or whether the suspect used a vehicle to leave the area.

What police have released so far

Police have made public images taken from surveillance footage as part of an effort to identify the suspect. The department has not publicly identified an arrest suspect, and the case remains open.

  • Location: 1900 block of Moores Mill Road NW, Atlanta
  • Date reported: Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026
  • Amount reported stolen: approximately $6,000
  • Allegation: gun displayed and used to threaten the clerk during a demand for cash

Public tips and reward process

Investigators are asking anyone who recognizes the person shown in the released video or who has information about the robbery to submit a tip through Crime Stoppers. Police said tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000 if the information leads to an arrest and indictment.

Police have urged anyone with identifying information about the suspect to report it through Crime Stoppers rather than confronting the person.

Context: repeated focus on gas-station armed robberies

The Moores Mill Road case is the latest in a series of metro-area investigations in which police have released surveillance images to identify suspects in gas-station robberies. In other recent Atlanta cases, police have described suspects who displayed a firearm and demanded cash from employees, and in some incidents, police said employees were assaulted.

Investigators have not said whether the Moores Mill Road robbery is connected to any other case. Police have not released a detailed suspect description beyond what appears in the images and video, and no suspect name has been announced.

The investigation remains ongoing.
