Pueblo Police consider this man a person of interest in the case of a man shot and killed outside a McDonald’s.

PUEBLO – Police are asking for help finding the man in the above photograph who was seen leaving the area of the McDonald’s in the Midtown Shopping Center on February 27th after 29-year-old Travis Elifritz was shot and killed.
