Las Vegas police are asking for the public’s help identifying a man accused of an armed robbery near the 6000 block of North Buffalo Drive on September 1, 2025, around 9:39 p.m. The suspect, described as a Black man in his 20s to 30s with a thin build and standing 5'6" to 5'8", reportedly carried a deadly weapon and remains at large. At the time, he was wearing prescription glasses, a blue neck gaiter, a brown button-up shirt with “UPS” on the front, khaki pants, and gray gloves. Surveillance images have been released, and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says the case is still unsolved.

Witnesses told FOX5 Las Vegas the man took off in a black vehicle that may have been a Dodge Charger. Metro’s bulletin classifies the incident as a robbery with a deadly weapon and urges anyone who recognizes the person in the surveillance images to come forward.
