A late Saturday night robbery at Teutonia and Hampton has Milwaukee police asking for the public's help to track down two men who investigators say pulled guns on a victim, took their property and then ran off on foot just after 9 p.m. on March 21. Detectives say they are following up on leads and have released brief descriptions of both suspects.
Police Release Suspect Descriptions
According to FOX6 Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Police Department described one suspect as a Black man in his early 20s with braided hair. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, gray jeans and black shoes, carrying a dark backpack and armed with a tan handgun.
The second suspect is also described as roughly 20 years old. Police say he was last seen in a black mask, black jacket, white T-shirt, light blue jeans and dark shoes, and that he was carrying an AR-style pistol. Authorities have not said whether the two are known to them or tied to any other cases.

Local outlets have also previously reported police vehicle pursuits and a dramatic foot chase that began near Teutonia and Hampton, underscoring recurring enforcement activity in the area, according to WISN.
