Officials said new surveillance video from May 15 at 4:43 a.m. showed the same person of interest driving a Chevy Malibu with a different color front driver's side quarter panel, made between 1997-2005. The person of interest is seen again in the area of the home of the 6-year-old. It appeared to be the same person from the May 14 video released previously by police.

According to Cleveland FBI, the video showed the person of interest parking the vehicle and walking down the alley toward the victim's house. He is then seen running back to the vehicle, raising his hands to free them from his sleeves, and driving away.

Authorities ask all to take a close look at the video and take note of the person of interest, his clothing, his actions, and the suspect Chevy Malibu.
