Investigators have identified one suspect believed to be involved, along with a vehicle used during the incident. The suspect is described as a male of South Asian appearance, medium build, with a black beard. His age is unknown.

Police say the suspect was seen returning to a newer model Honda Civic, possibly with a decoration hanging from the rear-view mirror.
