Beginning on January 7, 2017 a string of eight robberies occurred to businesses primarily located on the East side of the Las Vegas valley. The suspect would enter the business, display a handgun and demand cash. The suspect is bi-lingual in English and Spanish as he made demands in both languages. In one of the events, a customer was also robbed. In two of the events, the suspect fired one round inside of the businesses. In a robbery that occurred on January 16, the suspect fired multiple rounds at employees in the business, narrowly missing one of the employees. Press releases for some of these robberies were sent to media along with photos and video in an attempt to identify the suspect. He was described as a Hispanic male in his 20’s, standing 5’6” to 5’9” tall and had a thin build. He used a dark bandana to cover the lower half of his face, and in some of the events he was seen wearing dark frame eyeglasses.
