Late Monday night on March 5, 2012, an employee at mini mart called Palmdale Station to inform them they had just been robbed.
The victims relayed to detectives that a Black male wearing a ski mask, grey hooded sweatshirt, grey shorts entered the empty location and produced a silver handgun.
The suspect approached a clerk behind the register and began demanding she open the register and empty the contents into the backpack he provided.
The clerk complied with the suspect’s orders then forcibly led her outside the store and into the store’s stock room. The suspect then forced the clerk, along with an additional employee who was inside the stock room, onto the floor and demanded they turn over their wallets.
The suspect led the store clerk back into the public area of the gas station where he rummaged through the register a second time before fleeing the location on foot.
The suspect is described as a 20 to 30 year old Black male, 6’0” and 200lbs. He is described as being muscular and during the time of the robbery was wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and grey sweat shorts with black stripes.
If anyone has any information on the identity of this suspect, please contact Detective Hoyt at 661-272-2473.
