Police Seek Help Identifying Suspects

VICTIMS TARGETED IN ARMED CONFRONTATION

SUISUN CITY — The Suisun City Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying two men responsible for an armed confrontation at a Suisun City home on February 5, 2009. Police have released sketches of the suspects in the hope someone will identify the men and come forward with information to assist in the investigation.

The first suspect is described as a Hispanic man approximately 35 to 45 years of age with an average build who stands about 5-feet, 8-inches tall. He wears his black hair combed to the left, and has a distinctive scar on his right cheek.

The second suspect is described as a Hispanic man approximately 23 to 28 years of age who stands about 5-feet, 10-inches and weighs about 180 pounds. He wears his dark brown hair combed back.

The pair allegedly knocked on the front door of a Suisun City home. When the victims answered the door, the suspects entered the house, pointed the gun and threatened the victims. There was a struggle over the weapon, and one of the victims wrestled away the gun.

Both suspects ran from the house, and fled in a white Chevrolet Astro van with blue stripping waiting nearby. The victims were not physically injured.

Police do not believe this was a random incident. The initial investigation indicates that the victims were purposefully targeted by the suspects.

Anyone with information regarding these suspects is urged to contact Suisun City Police Detective Eric Vera at 707-421-7361.
