The suspect allegedly entered the store, located at 5th Street and Rockvale Avenue, with a handgun at 12:41 p.m. and unsuccessfully tried to rob the clerk, police said. He then ran outside and got into an older model red 2-door car, possibly a Honda, with aluminum or chrome wheels and damage to the rear bumper.
The suspect was described as a Hispanic man between 24 and 30 years old with a mustache and goatee, with an average to heavy build. He was wearing dark sunglasses, a gray or blue watchcap, and a dark, possibly green nylon jacket with a hood with a white T-shirt underneath. He also wore white basketball-style shorts, calf-white white socks, and dark gray or black "skater-style" shoes. He was wearing gray and blue gloves with "L.A. Dodger" style print on the outside.
Police advised the public not to approach the individual or vehicle if seen. If you have any information about this suspect or vehicle, please send an email to Detective Chapman at schapman@ci.azusa.ca.us or call (626) 812-3252.
