Two armed suspects remain at large as leads have gone cold in the November robbery of two women at a university student apartment complex in San Marcos.

Authorities now are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspects.

On Nov. 26, 2014, two female residents of the University Heights II apartment complex at 1101 E. River Ridge Parkway in San Marcos were leaving their unit when two Hispanic males, according to police, approached them demanding money. 

The first male — described as standing between 5’8” and 5’10” in height, thin build, well kept “pretty looking frat kid” in his late teens or early 20s, wearing a dark or possibly black shirt — demanded money from the women while showing them a firearm tucked in his waistband, police said in a statement.

The second suspect is described as standing between 5’8” and 5’10” in height, thin build, scruffy, wearing an orange shirt and black shorts. He is also said to be in his late teens or early 20s.

Police say after one of the suspects showed the women the firearm, a struggle ensued over the weapon and one of the females received an injury to her hand. That’s when both suspects are said to have retreated to the green space east of the complex.

Based on the victim’s injury, police believe the firearm was possibly an air soft gun. 

Anyone with information on the case or the identification of the two suspects is asked to call San Marcos Police Detective Tiffany Williams at (512) 753-2108.
