Police detectives chased leads throughout the weekend as they investigated the homicide of a  man who worked in downtown Vancouver.

Despite releasing photographs of a suspect in the shooting death of Bentley Brookes, a 58-yar-old Camas man whose body was found inside Pacific Bullion Precious Metals on Wednesday, police said they have no updates in the case.

“Tips have come in, but so far, nothing that’s led to an arrest,” Vancouver Police Department spokeswoman Kim Kapp said.

Police were dispatched to the precious metals shop, 701 Main St., at 11:50 a.m. Wednesday after a report that a man was believed to be dead. Arriving officers found Brookes’ body and said he died as a result of a gunshot wound, according to Vancouver police.

The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office said that Brookes died of a gunshot wound to the head and ruled that the death was a homicide.

Kapp said that investigators still want to hear from the public, adding that the agency also is taking tips anonymously. Anyone with information about the incident or who recognizes the woman in the surveillance photos is asked to call the Vancouver Police Department tip line at 360-487-7399 or email Vancouver police Detective Lawrence Zapata at Lawrence.Zapata@cityofvancouver.us.

The police said the woman should be considered armed and dangerous.
