Police on Friday released a sketch of the gunman who fatally shot a man after he dropped off his two-year-old son at a Dunwoody preschool.

So far, eyewitness accounts have proved most beneficial to investigators as they continue their manhunt for Russell "Rusty" Sneiderman's killer, police spokesman Mike Carlson said.

Dunwoody Prep was open as usual Friday morning with one addition: An off-duty DeKalb County police officer was stationed on a motorcycle outside the school to provide extra security.

Dunwoody police said Sneiderman, 36, was getting into this car Thursday morning when a man approached and shot him several times.

The shooting was not random, police have concluded. Investigators have spent the day interviewing friends, family and business associates hoping to develop a motive for the killing. So far, they have none.

The suspect was spotted leaving the preschool in a silver Dodge Minivan, Carlson said. He was last seen traveling west on Mount Vernon Road, Carlson said.

A crime expert said the slaying had the hallmarks of "an organized hit."

From the shooter's nondescript attire and getaway vehicle, to the firing of multiple shots and the fact that the victim's car was left on the scene, it seems like a planned murder rather than a carjacking or robbery, the expert, Casey Jordan, told reporter Pete Combs of AM 750 and now 95.5FM News/Talk WSB.

The number of shots indicates an intent to kill, said Jordan, a criminologist and professor at Western Connecticut State University. She speculated that the killer either had a vendetta against Sneiderman or was a hired gun who knew how to melt away after the crime. "This man took precautions to make sure he fit the description of thousands of people and thousands of cars," Jordan said.

Davidson, who lives in Los Angeles, said the Sneidermans relocated to Atlanta about a decade ago. Rusty Sneiderman served as chief operating officer for Innovia Group and then as a financial consultant for the Atlanta division of JP Morgan Chase & Co. Private Bank, where, according to Davidson, he advised "high-end" clients with large estates.

Between this, the top madoff investor(can't recall name), matt simons and one of the guys who took over as CFO of VP of Freddi (can't recall name) it makes you wonder who really runs the country and holds all the wealth.

Seriously, who even KNOWS how to contact someone to pull off a hit or fake suicide?

Betcha money, marbles or chalk that the last paragraph says it all!

Meaning someone was:

Unhappy

Not accustomed to being treated badly...

Without retribution.

Lol! I actually work with a guy that fits Walter to a T. Has a beard, wears a khaki tactical vest, ex-special forces thats a little off kilter and rants at the drop of a hat. Thing is, he doesn't know shit about breaking the law and get away with it. He could parachute into the middle of nowhere and wait for someone for weeks living off bugs before killing someone with explosives or military hardware but he still needs a ride at the end of the day.

The dude is actually usually in some sort of minor trouble with local LE or security over stupid things. I can see him promising toes but getting caught within 24 hours.

Maybe thats only funny to me.

I drive by that place almost every week. Not the area you usually hear about these type things, somewhat upscale, but the same shopping center was also the location where a teen was abducted and then killed several years ago. And right down the road an elderly couple was murdered in their home last year. "The times they are a changing".

My guess is this is either about money or about messing with somebody's wife. Both seem to bring about these type things.
