El Paso Police are asking for the public’s help in finding a man who allegedly robbed a Family Dollar store with a shotgun in October.

Police said on Saturday October 13, just before 3 p.m., the man entered the Family Dollar store on Alameda near Reynolds, placed a bag on the floor and pulled a sawed off shotgun out of it.

Police said the man told the cashier to give him all of the money in the cash register. The cashier then tried to run away but was not able to.

The suspect then pointed his shotgun at a customer and told the cashier in Spanish not to jeopardize the customers as he was only interested in getting the money.

The cashier then returned to the register and gave him the money.

The suspect was seen running out of the store heading west on Alameda and then south on Concepcion.

He was also seen getting into a blue or green Ford Windstar with white sliding doors on both sides.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male in his 20’s, 5’6 to 5’8 tall, and about 135 to 150 pounds. He was wearing a black cap with a white San Francisco 49ers logo and white trim, a white polo shirt with dark stripes, blue jeans and white tennis shoes.

He was carrying a black bag with black and white straps and a camouflage gym bag.
