San Antonio police are asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect in an armed robbery after releasing surveillance images they hope will jog someone’s memory. According to officers, a boy reported that a man pulled up, pointed what appeared to be a rifle, and demanded his jewelry. Detectives say they’re reviewing video and running down leads, with the images released to spark tips.
Per KENS5, the man pulled alongside the boy, demanded the jewelry, and then left the area. The station’s report includes footage police say could help identify the suspect, and investigators are urging anyone with information to come forward.
How to report tips
If you recognize the person in the images or have doorbell, dash-cam, or other surveillance footage, contact investigators. The City of San Antonio notes that tips to Crime Stoppers can be submitted by phone at 210-224-STOP (210-224-7867), through the P3 Tips app, or online. You can remain anonymous. Officials also stress: don’t confront suspects—report what you know and let police handle it.
Why this matters
Armed robberies across the city have prompted public appeals and rewards this year; the San Antonio Express-News recently reported a $5,000 reward tied to a North Side game center robbery. Police say pushing out images and asking neighbors to check their cameras are crucial steps in cracking these fast-moving cases.
SAPD’s Robbery Unit continues to work the case. Anyone with information is urged to contact police or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers so detectives can follow up.
