Identity of Serial Robbery Suspect Sought

Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police Department’s Robbery Division need the public's assistance identifying the suspect responsible for several aggravated robberies with a deadly weapon.

An unknown black male is responsible for at least eleven robberies at a variety of different stores just west of Downtown Houston. The male commits the robberies all the similar fashion, in which he walks up to the counter and acts as though he is going to make a purchase and then hands the employee a note. In the note, the suspect threatens to shoot the clerk if they don’t cooperate and give him the money from the register. In the robbery at the Trader Joe’s, an employee saw what appeared to be a handgun in the suspect’s front waste band.
