Armed robbery suspect opens fire on victim

Police are asking for the public's help in finding an armed robbery suspect who opened fire on one of his victims.

Back on September 29, he jumped out of a car in west Phoenix and robbed a 48-year-old man at gunpoint near 47th Avenue and Indian School Road at 5:35 a.m.

At 5:40 a.m., the suspect committed the same type of offense -- but this time, he opened fire.  The shot grazed the back of the 43-year-old victim's head near 27th Avenue and Osborn.

According to police, an hour later, "a person of interest" matching the suspect's description attempted to use a stolen credit card obtained in the armed robberies.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, 20 - 25 years old.  He was wearing a fedora hat and sunglasses and may be driving a silver mini-van, possibly a Dodge Caravan.

Silent Witness is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in this case.
