The station reports that the image came directly from LVMPD and that investigators are asking people to study the photo closely for any identifying details that might help put a name to the face.

The renewed push for tips follows several other Maryland Parkway-area robberies reported earlier this spring, including cases on March 23 and March 25 that were also caught on camera. KTNV reported on the March 23 incident, while FOX5 covered a March 25 commercial robbery along Maryland Parkway.

What Charges Could Follow
If a suspect is identified and charged, robbery with the use of a deadly weapon is treated as a serious felony in Nevada and can carry a prison sentence. Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, robbery is a category B felony, and using a deadly weapon brings additional mandatory penalties. Statutory details are outlined in NRS Chapter 200 and NRS 193.165.
