Suspect Sought in Violent Alton Road Armed Robbery: Miami Beach Police

Miami Beach Police are searching for an armed suspect behind a violent robbery at an Alton Road apartment building.

The robbery happened back on Nov. 29 at the building at 1346 Alton Road, Miami Beach Police officials said Friday.

Police said the victim was walking to his building when he noticed another man following him. The suspect approached the victim from behind, pulled out a gun and demanded the victim's property.

After the suspect received the victim's property, he pistol-whipped the victim in the head which caused the gun to fire, police said. The suspect fled the scene in an older model green four door car, police said.

The victim told NBC 6 Friday that his wallet and cell phone were taken.

"The guy push me, he say 'give me your wallet, give me your wallet, give me your wallet, give me the phone,'" victim Romeo Suhul said. "I go 'hey take it, take it.'"

Police released video of the suspect outside the building in the hopes of catching him. Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
