The Austin Police Department Robbery Unit is requesting the community’s assistance with identifying two suspects involved in an aggravated robbery that occurred at about 3:30 a.m. on September 30, 2020 at the 7-Eleven located at 13641 N. IH-35. The suspects, described below, were captured on camera loitering outside the front of the business for approximately half an hour prior to the robbery. Video footage shows a number of customers entering and exiting the store during that period who may have witnessed the two suspects in the area.
The men entered the store once it was empty at which time the thin white male (suspect #1) approached the counter and pointed a black semi-automatic style handgun at the clerk while demanding money. The suspect removed money from the register while the heavier white male (suspect #2) acted as a lookout. Suspect #2 is also captured on video grabbing a black semi-automatic style handgun from around his waistband. Both suspects ran out of the store following the robbery and were reportedly traveling southbound on foot.
