The suspect was described as a tall Hispanic man around 18 years old. He had a short beard and a mustache, short curly hair with a small white patch of hair or bald spot on the back of his head, the victim told officials.

At the time of the incident, the suspect wore a black sweatshirt with the hood up and jeans with holes in them. Also, the suspect had a red and gold U.S. Marine Corp lanyard hanging from a pocket of his jeans, the victim said.
