REIDSVILLE, N.C. — It's been 21 years since someone shot and killed Carlos Alejandro Scales and Reidsville police are still looking for answers. 

Back on December 6th, 1998 officers got a call about a drive-by shooting on North Harris street. 

When they arrived they found 24-year-old Carlos Alejandro Scales dead from a gunshot wound. 

According to police, Scales was playing cards with several people inside a home when gunshots ripped through the walls hitting and killing him and no one else. They say the suspects escaped in what witnesses described as "a late-model purple Ford Mustang." 

Investigators developed a person of interest: the now 41-year-old Adan Martinez Faustino. Police are asking anyone who knows where he may be at to contact Lt. Shannon Coates at 336-347-2338 or Rockingham County Crime Stoppers 336-349-9683. 

There is still a Governor's reward for information leading to an arrest for up to $5,000.
