1 Identified, 1 Wanted for Armed Robbery on Fieldston Road

Officers in the Seventh District are searching for two male suspects wanted for an armed robbery incident that occurred in the 7300 block of Fieldston Road.

The incident happened on June 5, 2018. At approximately 4:20 a.m., two male subjects were seen driving a white, older-model Chevy Impala in the area with tinted windows and no license plate and parked the car near the victim’s vehicle in the area. 

The shorter subject, pictured on the right, was identified as Ryan Smith (DOB: 01/17/00), and the taller male subject wearing a black t-shirt still has not been identified.

Smith along with another unidentified male approached the victims with a handgun and demanded their property. The victims complied and both suspects fled the area. 

Through the course of the investigation, officers learned that the victims purchased cigars for both of the perpetrators at a nearby gas station before the armed robbery took place.

Anyone with any other information regarding the location or identification of the wanted subjects should contact any Seventh District Investigative Unit (DIU) at 504-658-6077 or anonymously to CrimeStoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll free at 1-877-903-7867.
