Full Notification

The following information was originally released in December of 2013.  The Torrance Police Department is asking for your help in trying to identify this suspect. 

On Wednesday, November 27, 2013 at 2:08p.m., the pictured suspect entered YUM YUM DONUTS at 17210 Prairie, ordered a donut and when the lone female victim-employee approached the register, he grabbed her shirt, brandished a screwdriver and demanded the victim open the register and give him money or he would kill her. The suspect then jumped over the counter while holding on to victim’s hair, grabbed the victim by the throat and lifted her off of the ground. He repeatedly stabbed her with a screwdriver about her torso as she opened the register, then with his right hand, shoved the money from the cash drawer into his right pants pocket (bills only, left behind coins). The victim was then forced into the backroom where she was again stabbed multiple times, punched and had a glass bottle broken over her head.
