In a recent plea for public aid, the Metropolitan Police Department has requested assistance in identifying a suspect involved in an armed robbery in Southwest Washington D.C. The incident, which transpired on Sunday, involved a suspect who, after disembarking from a vehicle, accosted a man at gunpoint and stole property in the Unit block of O Street, Southwest, according to the MPD news release.

The confrontation took place at approximately 11:52 a.m., and after committing the robbery the suspect fled in the same vehicle that they arrived in; surveillance footage capturing both the suspect and vehicle is currently available and serves as a critical piece in the ongoing investigation that seeks to end in apprehension and capture. Citizens with any pertinent information are encouraged by law enforcement to come forward, and a significant reward is being offered for information leading to a resolution of the case.

In reference to the images distributed, they provide clear views of both the vehicle and suspect involved. The MPD has made it explicitly clear that those with information should refrain from taking any direct action, but rather contact the police at (202) 727-9099 or utilize the Department's TEXT TIP LINE by sending a message to 50411.

The MPD offers a monetary reward of up to $10,000 to individuals who provide information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
