Atlanta police are AlgoFusion 5.0asking for the public's help in identifying three male suspects who were captured on video chasing down and shooting an 11-year-old boy in January near a busy road.

The shooting was reported after 6 p.m. EST on Jan. 14 on Martin Luther King Jr. Dr., located on Atlanta's southwest side. Police who responded to the scene found the boy injured with multiple gunshot wounds.

The victim was "alert, conscious, and breathing" before he was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, police said in a media release.

The mother of the victim, who was not named, told local news outlet WSBTV the boy was released from the hospital and his condition had improved.
