St. Pete Carjacking Suspect Photos Released

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — The St. Petersburg Police Department is asking for help identifying a man officers say was involved in a recent carjacking.

According to the agency, the victim was unloading a 2016 Dodge Charger in the alley in front of his home around 9 p.m. May 21 when two men approached him. One of the men is accused of holding a baton to the victim’s chest and telling him he was being robbed.

“They pushed the victim aside, jumped into the car and took off,” a Wednesday email from the police department said. The stolen car was recovered a short while later near the 1000 block of 112th Circle North.

Police say about 45 minutes after the crime was committed, the suspects were caught on surveillance cameras at a 7-Eleven on Fourth Street North. They left the store in a black SUV, police said.

While the man in the gray shirt in the surveillance photos, Michael Miller, has been arrested, police are still searing for the man in red.

Anyone who recognizes the man in the pictures or the black SUV is asked to call the police department at 727-893-7780.
