identifying and locating an unknown suspect who robbed an adult male while he was

sitting in his vehicle.

On June 12, 2018, at about 7:40 p.m., the male victim parked his car in the Buffalo

Wild Wings parking lot, located at 1010 W. San Marcos Blvd in San Marcos. An

and opened the driver’s door. The suspect placed a 10-12 inch "Keyhole Saw" blade,

also known as a drywall saw, to the victim's neck and demanded his iPhone. The

suspect threatened to cut the victim up and forcefully removed the iPhone from the

victim's hand, before fleeing the area.
