The suspect in the July robbery murder of Pulod Davlatnazarov, 39, at the Limelight Liquor Store at 1649 La Brea Ave. is still at large. These video images capture his face.

Detectives released the video again Thursday in a renewed plea for tips on the suspect’s identity and whereabouts. They said he walked into the Hollywood liquor store about 6:30 p.m. and went to the back, where Davlatnazarov, an immigrant from Tajikistan, was working in the stock room. In the course of the subsequent robbery, he shot Davlatnazarov in the head and killed him, and also severely wounded store clerk Vladimir Akkerman, 69. The suspect is 18 to 22 years old, about 5-foot-6 and 180 pounds with a short Afro and wire-rim prescription glasses. A $50,000 reward is pending. Anyone with information is asked to call LAPD detectives at (213) 972-2910, (213) 972-2913 or (877) LAWFULL.

Update: LAPD Hollywood detectives have cleared this case. Rodney Bourgeois, 18, who police call the Limelight liquor suspect, was arrested Aug. 25.
