Dearborn police say Brenna Machus, 20, of Romulus, could be in danger. Chief Ron Haddad is promising an aggressive investigation as detectives search for her and also try to determine why a Orlando, of Dearborn, was fatally shot Monday night at a Family Dollar store.

Orlando's body was discovered Tuesday after employees found the store in disarray and called police.

Police released a 17-second surveillance video of a suspect waving as he enters the store with a hood over his head. Lt. Douglas Topolski says there's no information so far suggesting Machus knew the gunman.

According to CBS Detroit, police say it is unclear whether a robbery took place or if there was some other motive behind Orlando's killing.

The station reports Crime Stoppers is offering a $2,500 reward for a tip leading to Machus' whereabouts or to an arrest. Anyone with information can call (313) 943-2241.
