At approximately 10:15 p.m., Police responded to the 800 block of South 16th Street on a call of a robbery. A victim exited her vehicle after parking and was approached by a dark-colored, 4-door Honda HR-V sedan with a sunroof and dull metallic rims. A male passenger exited the car, brandished a handgun, and demanded the victim’s belongings, including her car keys. The suspect vehicle’s driver remained in the car, which fled after the robbery, heading northbound on South 16th Street towards Avon Avenue. The victim’s car has not been taken.
Detectives investigating this incident describe the suspect with the weapon as a light-skinned African-American, approximately 5’7” tall with a medium build. He was wearing all-black clothing and a ski mask.
