December 18, 2017
Richmond Police detectives are asking for the public’s help to identify the individual in the photos who is a suspect in an armed commercial robbery that occurred early this month on Jefferson Davis Highway.

Shortly after 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 3, police were called to a business in the 1500 block of Jefferson Davis Highway for a report of a robbery. Officers were told the suspect entered the business, immediately pointed a handgun at an employee, and told the victim to give him all money from the register and anything the victim had on him. While there was no money in the office desk at the time, the victim handed his personal belonging to the suspect. The suspect fled the scene toward the area of Mimosa and Columbia Streets. No injuries were reported.
The suspect is described as a black male with a slim build. At the time, he was wearing a gray pullover hooded sweatshirt with charcoal sleeves, dark jeans, dark Nike tennis shoes and a dark backpack with blue handles.
