Suspect Wanted in Series of Selling App Robberies

Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police Department’s Robbery Division need the public's assistance identifying the suspect responsible for series of robberies (theft from person).

On Sunday, March 15, 2020 at 11:03 am, the complainant had placed a cell phone on a selling app called LetGo and had arranged to meet with a male at a strip center, located at 6305 Antoine, in Houston, Texas. Upon arriving at the location, the complainant stated he was standing outside of his vehicle when the suspect ran up, grabbed the phone from his hand, and ran toward an apartment complex across the street (captured on camera). Houston PD #358531-20

The same suspect is also believed to be responsible for two additional robberies where the suspect stole the complainant’s cell phones. In those robberies, the complainants were selling cell phones on the LetGo and agreed to meet with the purchaser (suspect) at 6305 Antoine.  The first occurred on March 6th at 7:38 pm (Houston PD#315851-20) and the second occurred on March 7th at 9:31 am (Houston PD #318403-20). It is possible that the suspect lives in the area.

Crime Stoppers may pay up to $5,000 for information leading to the charging and/or arrest of the suspect in this case. Information may be reported by calling 713-222-TIPS (8477) or submitted online at www.crime-stoppers.org
