A suspect who allegedly shot a 12-year-old girl Friday when firing a gun from a car’s sunroof is still unidentified, but police hope newly released video will help them make an arrest.

The 12-year-old was still in the hospital in critical condition Thursday when Prince George’s County Police released video they hope will lead to the shooter, police said.

The shooting erupted about 6:35 p.m. in the 5200 block of Marlboro Pike, police said.

The video shows a gunman wearing a blue long-sleeve shirt standing up through the sunroof of a dark-colored sedan moving along on Marlboro Pike.

A 12-year-old girl was standing inside a restaurant in Capitol Heights on Friday when she was shot in the stomach. News4's Darcy Spencer reports.

The gunman can be seen pointing a gun and recoiling their arms multiple times. Police said they were shooting toward a strip mall.

The gunman goes back into the car as it approaches a stoplight, the video shows.
