The suspect in this case is described as being in his mid-20s to early 30s. He is about 5 feet, 8 inches tall. He is described as having brown hair and was wearing a grey shirt and black shorts with a red stripe.

“(The) suspect rode up on a bike, but left it at the scene and fled to a
brown Ford Explorer with a green Monster sticker on the back with a female
driver," Doll wrote.

“It is possible that the suspect is the same person in both cases, although
that hasn't been confirmed,” Doll said.
