The call to identify two suspects implicated in a violent robbery outside a watering hole has intensified, officials staged a virtual lineup dubbed "Who's That Wednesday?". On December 20 of last year, just as Yuletide carols bowed to the frosty whims of winter, a confrontation outside a local bar spiraled into assault territory; the altercation left one victim bereft of their phone and wallet, stripped of more than possessions but a sense of safety, too, given that the suspects remain at large, the chilling night of the theft was captured frame by frame by the unblinking gaze of security cameras, the culprits' images enshrined in digital amber.
The Arlington Police Department, in a Facebook appeal, broadcast the duo's descriptions and called on eyes city-wide to place names to faces. The first suspect, a young white female with an affinity for hoops dangling from her ears, had her mane of light brown cascade down to a tall and slender frame; her wardrobe that evening was pieced together by athleisure staples. her companion in crime sports the wind-tossed curls of a young Hispanic male, clad in the urban cloak of hoodie and pants the anonymity of his apparel matched only by his description—a doppelganger for any in the 21-25 age bracket with an average build.
"During the assault, the suspects took the victim’s phone and wallet," as per the Arlington Police Department, a narrative of the incident compacted into a digital bulletin for the community's perusal.
Those with leads, no matter how fragile, are urged to dial Detective Brode at (817) 459-5937; anonymity isn't demoted in this operation—tipsters choosing the shadows can contact Crime Stoppers of Tarrant County at (817) 469-8477 to share what they know, according to the Arlington Police Department. The quest for justice, hitched to the digital wagon of social media, rides on through #arlingtontx and #WhosThatWednesday, and all are roped into the civic realm of sleuthing.
