(CNN) -- A man accused of robbing a bank in Mississippi and killing a police officer in a shootout is now suspected in another heist two states away.
Authorities believe the assailant tried to rob a bank in Atlanta on Monday morning but failed to get money from a teller. He then robbed a customer at the bank's ATM, the Atlanta FBI office said Friday.
Hours after the first robbery, the same man robbed a bank in Tupelo, Mississippi, authorities said. That robbery led to a gunfight with police and the shooting of two officers.
Tupelo police Officer Gale Stauffer died in the shooting; the second officer was critically injured, the FBI said.
More than 100 law enforcement officers have been scrambling to find the robber in a nationwide manhunt. The FBI, local banks and businesses are offering a combined $200,000 in reward money for information leading to the identification and arrest of the man responsible.
The FBI says the suspect is about 5-feet, 8-inches tall to 6 feet tall with a slender build. He was wearing a face mask, a patterned jacket, khaki pants and tennis shoes. Authorities say he may have fled in a gray sedan, possibly a late-model Chrysler 200.
Anyone with information is asked to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
