Chicago police are trying to drum up fresh leads as they work to solve a shooting that left a man dead and a 7-month-old boy injured in November. Area Four detectives released surveillance video of a suspect and the gunman’s car on Monday night and asked tipsters to get in touch.

Around 10:45 a.m. on November 20, a 35-year-old man was driving in the 2400 block of South Oakley when a stolen 2015 Dodge Charger pulled up next to him. Someone inside the Charger fired into the victim’s red SUV, killing him. The child, who was in the back seat, suffered a graze wound to his face.

One video clip released on Monday shows the gunman stopping next to the victim and firing. Another shows the Charger speeding away. CPD said the suspects parked the car in the 3000 block of South Homan and walked away. Additional video shows one of the shooters walking through an alley between Homan and Trumbull avenues. Watch:
