Video Of Suspects In Fatal Restaurant Robbery Released

(Update) ATLANTA, GA — The Atlanta Police Department released a video Monday evening of suspects wanted in a robbery and homicide early Sunday at the Barcelona Wine Bar. A 29-year-old manager, Chelsea Beller, was shot during the robbery and died soon afterwards at Grady Memorial Hospital.

The robbery and shooting occurred at about 1:45 a.m. Sunday. The police said they're working to identify the three black men shown in the videos. "While they are masked, we are hoping their distinctive clothing (including pants and shoes), will assist in identifying and apprehending them," a police spokesman said.

"No crime against our citizens, anywhere in the city, is acceptable. But the robbery and murder of an innocent restaurant manager doing her job is a terrible crime that has shocked even the most jaded among us here at APD," said Carlos Campos, a police spokesman, in a statement.

The police are working diligently to find the robbers, Campos said. "These crimes are unacceptable, and we will not rest in our pursuit of shutting down these violent criminals."

The robbers broke into the restaurant shortly before closing time and tied up employees with electrical tape, police say. The suspects forced Beller, of Atlanta, to an office upstairs, where they forced her to open a safe and then shot her in the shoulder.

Once officers arrived, Beller was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital, where she later died. The three robbers got away before police arrived.

In a memorial, Beller's friends left flowers and candles Sunday afternoon outside the Barcelona Wine Bar, WSB TV reported.

The reward for tips from the public about the heist now stands at $7,000. Atlanta police ask anyone with information that will help identify the suspects in the murder at the Barcelona Wine Bar to call them, or provide an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers Atlanta by calling 404-577-TIPS (8477).
