Perez is wanted in connection to Robinson’s murder around 11.45pm on August 27 outside a McDonalds on the 3000 block of Las Vegas Boulevard North.
Patty said police don’t know how much time elapsed before they realized the suspect was gone, the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
North Las Vegas say The Ford F-250 truck that was taken in yesterday’s escape was located and returned to the owner Saturday morning. “No one was injured in the incident”. Robinson’s sister, Maggie, angrily demanded to know how a suspected murderer could walk out of a police station. The woman complained to a man she was with, who in turn pulled out a gun and shot Robinson, cops said. “You don’t have any more security than that”.
Perez is described as a Hispanic man, about 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds. “You couldn’t have another person there?” she asked KSNV. He has black hair and brown eyes with a goatee. His jersey had the No. 21 printed on the front and the back.
Patty said Perez has a 3-inch “Air Jordan” logo tattoo on the left of his neck.
