Suspects Mug Man At Gunpoint Then Flee Head-On Crash

EL PASO, Texas —

Police said they have some leads that may help them track down the suspect and his accomplice who not only robbed a man at gunpoint in a parking lot, but also crashed into a driver seconds later.

The two incidents happened at around 10:40 p.m. Wednesday.

The victim who was robbed told police he was heading into the Jaguars gentlemen's club when he said a man went up to him, pointed a gun at him and demanded his wallet. Officials said the suspect then pistol whipped the victim and took off with his wallet in a Saturn with a woman. As they were driving through the parking lot next to Jaguars, they tried fleeing through an on-ramp in the wrong direction, where they crashed head-on to a woman driving a white Mustang. The suspect and his accomplice then left the car behind and took off on foot.

"The vehicle is going to obviously give us some very important clues because its got a lot of identifiers in it and on it, so that is something that our Crimes Against Persons detectives will be following up with,” said Sgt. Rod Liston.

The suspects ran away through gateway west toward Lee Trevino Drive.

No description is available for the woman, but here's a brief description on the man: He's being described as a Hispanic or white man, around 6 feet tall, medium to heavy set. He was last seen wearing a dark-colored jacket and jeans with a beanie or cap.

If the suspect is caught he will face aggravated robbery charges and who over was driving will face hit and run charges.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 566-8477.
