A suspect in a deadly shooting outside of a gas station in Ohio remains on the run, with police urging anyone with information about him to come forward.

Damario McCall, 41, is accused of shooting and killing 26-year-old Ar”mon Covington on Sunday at about 4:15 a.m. at the BP gas station located at 778 Grant Street in Akron. When law enforcement officers arrived, they found Covington with “multiple” gunshot wounds, and he was pronounced dead shortly after.

Investigators with the Akron Police Department learned that a suspect “had been allegedly harassing women in the parking lot.” When Covington “intervened,” the suspect – later revealed to be McCall – shot him multiple times, police said.

The suspect then reportedly drove away from the scene in a red SUV.

McCall has warrants out for his arrest for murder, illegal possession of a weapon, and carrying a concealed weapon. He is described as standing 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing about 195 pounds. He was last wearing glasses “with thick prescription lenses.”

He should be considered armed and dangerous, police added.

Akron Police Lt. Michael Murphy called the shooting “horrible.”

“The suspect shot our victim at close range and walked away like it was nothing,” he told Cleveland’s ABC affiliate, WEWS.

Na’Tosha Covington, Ar’mon Covington’s mother, said her son’s death is “a different kind of hurt.”

“It’s unexplainable,” she said, adding that he was her only son and youngest child.

“What in your right mind made you feel like ‘I’m God today and I’m going to take your life’?” she also said in comments to the outlet. “I just really hope that they catch this guy and get him off the street; keep him from harassing other women, from hurting other people. I don’t want any other mother, father, family member to have to go through this.”

McCall had been released from prison earlier this year after being there since 2009, WEWS also reported, citing the Ohio Department of Corrections.
