The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man who punched an elderly outside the Home Depot store in Pace. On Friday, they released surveillance video of a possible witness.
The punch happened June 14.
Burdette Miller told sheriff's deputies he was hit by a man who claimed Miller hit his car.
Miller says that never happened.
The victim says he had just dropped off his wife at the store and was looking for a parking place in the middle of a thunderstorm.
Miller says after he got out of his car, a man approached him. The man started yelling and then punched him.
So far, the man has not been found.
The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office hopes security video of a possible witness may be able to help them. They released this video of a 2008 white Chevy Impala. The driver of the car dropped off a woman and then picked her up again.
The woman was carrying a red purse.
Investigators believe these two people may have witnessed the attack, or have information that can help in the case.

Parking lots are private property. Police have no jurisdiction over a misdemeanor. Usually, each person agrees to fix their own vehicles or they go to small claims court. ADVICE: Take pictures if it happens to you!

Thats just sad, i mean, if you get in a fender bender, dont use road rage, exchange numbers, or if the person denies it, call the cops, and ask the store manager to release the videos. I work at Wal Mart, and we have things like this happen all the time, the managers just pull the security tapes to see what happens. dont fight it out. the guy was probably on drugs.
