Detroit police are asking the public for help identifying a suspect in an armed robbery that happened on the city's east side last month. Investigators say the holdup unfolded near Manistique Street and Mack Avenue at approximately 5:05 p.m. on Oct. 22, and police are asking the public for help with the case.
According to ClickOnDetroit, police described the suspect as a Black man between 30 and 40 years old. He was last seen wearing a gray hoodie, gray pants and brown slides.
What Investigators Are Asking Residents To Do
Detroit police want anyone with information about the case to reach out directly. The outlet reports that tips can go to the Detroit Police Department's 5th Precinct at 313-596-5545, giving residents a direct line to detectives working the case.
For those who'd rather stay out of it publicly, there are anonymous options too. The same report notes that tips can also be submitted through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP or through Detroit Rewards TV, which allows tipsters to share information without revealing their identity.
A Listed Reward And An Open Case File
A separate Detroit Rewards TV case listing shows the Oct. 22 armed robbery near Manistique and Mack carrying a reward of $1,000, though that figure comes from a low-confidence listing snippet rather than a formal police statement. The case carries report number 2610220394 for anyone submitting a tip or following up with investigators.
No arrest or further details about the robbery itself, including what was taken or whether anyone was hurt, have been released. For now, police are relying on the public to help put a name to the description they've released, and the case remains open while detectives continue their search for the man last seen in the gray hoodie and brown slides.
