Harris County Sheriff's Office detectives are asking the public for help identifying a man suspected in an aggravated robbery at Aldine Food Mart on September 20. Investigators say the suspect was driving a black Nissan Altima and has a tattoo on his right forearm, but little else about his identity has been released.
The appeal came in a post from HCSOTexas
, which described the case plainly: “HELP IDENTIFY: HCSO detectives seek a suspect involved in a Sept. 20 aggravated robbery at Aldine Food Mart.” The same post laid out the two identifying details investigators currently have to work with — the vehicle and the tattoo — and asked anyone who recognizes the man to come forward.
Beyond the vehicle description and the tattoo, HCSO has not released additional details about the suspect, including his name, age, or a photograph, according to the sheriff's office's own account. It also has not been confirmed whether the man has since been identified or arrested.
How to Submit a Tip
Anyone with information that could help identify the suspect is asked to call 713-221-6000 or 713-222-TIPS, per the sheriff's office. Those numbers were the only contact points shared in the appeal, and HCSO did not specify a reward or additional incentive for tips in the post.
A Broader Pattern of Robberies in Aldine
The Aldine area has seen other violent robbery cases in recent years, though none of them have been tied to this particular Food Mart case. In November 2024, a woman was shot while leaving a check-cashing business on Aldine Bender, a case in which two suspects were later arrested, according to ABC13 Houston. More recently, in March, a woman was shot in the leg during an armed robbery at an Aldine-area pawn shop, the station also reported. A separate Siesta Food Mart location on Aldine-Bender and Cotillion was closed for nearly a day following a deadly robbery, per an earlier ABC13 account. None of those incidents has been connected to the September 20 case at Aldine Food Mart.
For now, the Aldine Food Mart case remains open, with HCSO detectives relying on the public to help put a name to the man caught on their radar. The black Nissan Altima and the forearm tattoo remain the only identifying details investigators have shared as the search for the suspect continues.
