FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Crime Stoppers offers reward for the identification of suspect in armed robbery.

Crime Stoppers is now offering a 600 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a man who is wanted for armed robbery.

Shreveport Police detectives are looking for a male suspect who robbed a man of his vehicle early Friday morning at a local parking garage.

At approximately 1:20 a.m. last Friday, Shreveport Police patrol officers were dispatched out to the 300 block of Clyde Fant relative to a robbery. Upon arrival officers contacted the victim who advised them that a male suspect had attacked him and stolen his 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche.

The suspect is described as a black male last seen wearing a light colored shirt over what appears to be a dark shirt and long pants with a covering on his head. The victim’s vehicle is still missing and is described as a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche, champagne in color, bearing Louisiana license plate number “DV10269”.

Anyone having any information about this crime is urged to call Shreveport Police Detective Craig Ivy at (318) 673-6955 or CrimeStoppers at (318) 673-7373.

Please find a DVD in the media box at the Patrol Desk showing footage of the suspect. Please pick up the DVD and air on the media. Only two media outlets picked up the video when we issued it last Friday.
