A customer at a Mission Valley convenience store is viciously assaulted by three men in the parking lot, making this the
Crime Stoppers “Crime of the Week.”
Just after midnight on Sunday, April 22nd, 2012, the victim was in the Circle K store at 700 N. Americas and North Loop to make a purchase. At the same time, two suspects were at the register buying cigarettes. As the victim approached the register, one suspect said something to him but he did not respond. The suspects left the store and got into a white SUV with two other men inside.
When the victim walked out, the two suspects confronted him. Meanwhile a third suspect got out of the SUV, went behind the victim and all three brutally beat the victim, punching him repeatedly in the head and kicking his body, splattering blood on the front door of the store. One man stayed inside the SUV. Though no weapon was seen, the victim sustained a severe laceration on his face.
- The suspect who spoke to the victim inside the store is described as an Hispanic male in his early 30’s, about 5’8” inches tall, with short hair, black long-sleeve shirt over a blank tank top, with dark pants and shoes. He was wearing a gold necklace.
- The second suspect, also Hispanic, appears to be older, shorter and heavier. He was wearing a white short-sleeve shirt over a white tank top, dark pants and brown shoes.
- The third suspect is only described as a male.
