The Metropolitan Police Department is on the hunt for a suspect linked to an armed robbery that took place in the Southeast quarter of Washington, D.C. The incident occurred on Saturday morning, with officers responding to the scene in the vicinity of the 1500 block of Alabama Avenue, Southeast, shortly after 9:00 am, as first reported by MPD's official release.
It has been revealed that demanding property from the victim who was parked in a lot, a suspect brandished a handgun during the altercation before fleeing the scene. Though the perpetrator has remained at large, a key piece of evidence has emerged, thanks to the eye of surveillance technology: a photograph of the suspect captured during the criminal act. Interested readers can view the suspect's image as provided by the official police release.
The MPD called on the community for assistance, imploring anyone with information that could lead to identifying the suspect should contact the police. You are instructed not to confront the suspect directly, but rather to dial (202) 727-9099 or to text your information to the police at 50411. These details for the public's participation have been underlined by the department in their efforts to make headway in the case.
The department has announced a standing reward, which amounts to $10,000, for information resulting in the arrest and conviction of the individual behind the crime. Additional details on this reward and conditions can be found in the MPD's official statement.
