Investigators in the Houston Police Department's Robbery Division are asking for the public's help in identifying a suspect wanted in an armed robbery of a Radio Shack at 12670 Bissonnet on April 27th.

The suspect is described only as a black male, 18 to 20 years of age, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 160 pounds.  Surveillance video of the suspect is attached to this news release.
