Detroit police Tuesday were hunting a suspect they believe beat a man to death following a car accident.

Investigators say Lawrence Davis is wanted in connection with the killing of a 24-year-old man – identified by FOX2 as Tyler Wingate -- at a gas station in the city early Monday morning.

Surveillance footage purportedly showing parts of the attack that were obtained by FOX2 features two men walking toward each other before one punches the other, dropping him to the ground.

Police told the Detroit Free Press that Davis, 23, also kicked the victim several times.
