Recognize This Man? Attempted Carjacker Sought in Marin

SAN RAFAEL, CA- San Rafael police have released a sketch of a suspect in an attempted carjacking Monday.

The male suspect walked up to a car stopped at a red light at Third and Heatherton streets around 7:30 a.m. The man pointed a handgun at the 28-year-old driver from Rio Vista and demanded he get out of the car, police Lt. Alan Piombo said.

The driver refused and the suspect repeated his demand as a second male suspect opened the right rear passenger door and took personal property from the back seat, Piombo said.

When the light turned green, the driver left the scene and the suspects fled in an unknown direction, Piombo said.

Police do not have a description of the second suspect, but the armed suspect in the sketch is described as a black man who is about 6 feet tall and has a long, thin face with pronounced cheekbones and full lips. He has dark colored eyes and an eyebrow that has a shaved line or scar across it. He was wearing a dark-colored pullover hooded sweatshirt, according to police.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call San Rafael police at (415) 485-3000.
