BUCKHEAD, GA -- Atlanta police are hoping that someone recognizes a unique hat worn by one of the suspects involved in a burglary that ended with the death of the apartment’s owner.

Police say the man wearing the hat in the above images was one of three suspects who broke into the third-floor apartment in the Skylofts on Oak Street at roughly 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The owner of the apartment, 51-year-old Jose Greer, called 911 to report the burglary then jumped out of his window to get away. He later died at the hospital.
