The suspect is dressed in nondescript attire, with grey covering shrouding his face and head, a casual white t-shirt paired with a grey zip-up jacket, the ensemble rounded out with black trousers and black slip-on footwear; white gloves complete the garb, creating a stark contrast that begets notice but also, ominously, suggests preparation, his clothing almost a uniform for anonymity, as per the Duluth MN Police.
For those willing to help, the Violent Crimes Unit can be reached at (218)-730-5050, where callers should refer to the Incident Crime Report number 24019135 to ensure their information lands in the correct hands; alternatively, the DPD has provided a method to send anonymous tips by texting 'DPDTIP' with the information to 847411, allowing concerned citizens a route to assist without exposure.
