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

On Friday, November 2, 2018 at around 10:00 am, an unknown male (possibly mixed race) climbed over the complainant's wooden patio fence, located at an apartment complex at 2338 West 18th Street, in Houston, Texas. The male then used a rock wrapped in a shirt and shattered the sliding glass door leading to the patio. While this was happening, a 71 year old female complainant was taking a shower.
