In a sentence

あのひとあの人that personだれwho

Who is that person?

How it works

A bare casual question — no verb, no “is,” no question particle. あの (that) points to someone over there, fixing ひと (person), and the whole thing ends on だれ (who) with rising intonation marked by the question mark. In friendly speech that rise alone does the work of a full “who is that?”
