Police have released photos of a suspect in the fatal shooting of the pregnant wife of an Indianapolis pastor.

The two grainy photos don't show the suspect's face since he was walking away from the camera, and his head was covered by a hoodie. The images were captured from a home surveillance video.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department believes 28-year-old Amanda Blackburn was fatally shot during a robbery at her home. The attack occurred on Nov. 10 and she died the following day.

"We know who killed her, at least we have a picture of him. We don't know the name. And this person was seen by a number of people going on the street and also our timeline was in place that puts him there at the time of the murder," IMPD Capt. Craig Converse explained to the media.

Converse said the suspect is a black male with a medium to light-brown complexion, slim to medium build and between 5'4" and 5'9".

Meanwhile, more than 2,000 people attended a memorial Sunday for Blackburn, whose unborn daughter, Everette "Evie" Grace Blackburn, also died in the assault.

Amanda and Davey Blackburn moved to Indianapolis in 2012 to start Resonate Church. The couple has a 15-month-old son.

Resonate Church highlights Amanda's deep faith on their website:

"Amanda made it her life's calling to love and serve everyone she knew. Even more, she has made it her life's mission to see as many people as possible come to know Jesus as their personal Savior. In her death and legacy, we truly believe that even more people will come to a saving faith in Christ."
