The public request centers on identifying two people in an aggravated-robbery investigation on Cameron Road. Months after the July incident, neither suspect has been publicly named, and police have not said whether anything was taken or whether the victim was injured.
According to KEYE, police say two suspects robbed an adult man and threatened him with a knife on July 18 in that stretch of Cameron Road. The station reports that police have released descriptions of both suspects but have not said what was taken in the robbery or whether the man was injured during the encounter.
Police described one suspect as a medium-build white woman with blond hair dyed pink at the ends and heavy tattoos on her arms and legs. She was last seen in a pink shirt, black shorts and white shoes, according to the report.
Police Also Seek a Male Suspect
The other suspect was described as a thin white man, 20 to 30 years old. He was last seen wearing a black hat, a black T-shirt with a skull on the back, dark gray shorts and black Nike shoes, the report said.
No arrest or charges update in the case has surfaced since July.

Robbery Numbers Hold Steady Citywide
Austin recorded 187 robberies in the first quarter of 2026, one fewer than in the same period a year earlier. That was about 19% of the city's reported violent crime during those months, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
The nearly unchanged robbery count contrasts with a decline in violent offenses overall: Austin reported 968 in the first quarter of 2026, down from 1,030 in the first quarter of 2025. Aggravated assaults accounted for about 65% of the 2026 total, with 632 cases. The newspaper reported that robberies fell more than 20% across the major U.S. cities in its survey. Austin's rate of about 97 violent offenses per 100,000 residents was below Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, but above Fort Worth, Arlington and El Paso.
What Other Cases and Crime Data Can Show
A separate downtown incident does not establish another knife-point robbery in East Austin or a case outcome. FOX 7 Austin reported that police said a teen forcibly took a gold necklace from a victim in the 500 block of E. 6th Street on Sept. 13; the fetched report text does not state the year or describe an outcome. The City of Austin cautions that CrimeViewer totals can differ from official totals and should not be compared with Uniform Crime Report statistics. The available guidance does not specify a Cameron Road-area geography or time period for a comparison, so it cannot establish a reliable local comparison for this case. See the City of Austin's CrimeViewer guidance.
Whether the July robbery on Cameron Road factors into those broader numbers isn't something investigators have addressed. For now, the case remains open, with police relying on the public to help put names to the two descriptions they've released.
