On Thursday, Atlanta police released video from three locations near Saturday night’s robbery and shooting death of boxer Vernon Forrest. Authorities hope that the video will help them find as many as four suspects that were involved in the crime.

Lt. Keith Meadows said, “at least three, and possibly four” individuals were involved. According to Meadows, the video shows a clear image of the suspected robber, but not the man who shot and killed Forrest less than three minutes later. The man who robbed Forrest took his Rolex watch and championship ring.

A funeral for Forrest is planned for Monday in Lithonia, Ga.
