The Hays County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying an aggravated robbery suspect who robbed a store in Buda Tuesday.  

The incident occurred March 22 at the Rosales Store, which is located at 5281 Dacy Lane in Buda. 

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, possibly 16 to 25 years old, that is 5’3” to 5’10” in height and has a thin build. 

The suspect was wearing a black or dark colored hoodie and blue jeans and gloves, and had a white bandanna covering his nose and mouth. According to the release, the suspect spoke both in English and Spanish during the encounter and was armed with a silver handgun. 

The male suspect was seen driving a 1998 to 2009 Dodge Ram 4-door pickup truck with a distinctive two-tone paint scheme. The vehicle had a maroon hood, roof and doors above the windows, and had gray or silver trim on the bottom half of the vehicle. The truck had tinted windows, 20-inch rims and a Texas license plate.

According to a Hays County press release, a female clerk reported that a male subject entered the store at 5:35 p.m.. The subject displayed a handgun and demanded her to “give him all of the cash,” according to the release. 

She supplied him with an undisclosed amount of money and the suspect fled the store on foot towards Dacy Lane. 

The clerk followed him out of the store and fired multiple rounds at the suspect from a gun kept in the store. 

The suspect was able to flee the area in a Dodge Ram Extended-Cab pickup that had been parked down the street. 

It is unclear if there were any other occupants in the vehicle. The robbery suspect has not been identified or located.

Anyone with information regarding this case should contact the Hays County Sheriff’s Office at 512-393-7896 and ask to speak with the Criminal Investigations Division or you may contact the Hays County Crime Stoppers at 1- 800-324-TIPS (8477).
