Fort Worth police searching for men suspected in armed robbery outside a Walmart

Fort Worth police are asking for the public’s help identifying two men suspected in an Oct. 29 armed robbery.

About 7:25 p.m., a man armed with a knife approached a woman who was putting groceries in her car near the entrance of the Walmart in the 8500 block of North Beach Street, near North Tarrant Parkway, police said.

The man demanded items and cut her when she yelled and resisted, police said. Witnesses chased the man as he fled to the Dairy Queen parking lot north of the Walmart where a vehicle picked him up and drove north on Beach Street.

Surveillance footage showed the suspects were sitting in a dark green or blue mid-2000′s Dodge Ram pickup with new black and white Texas license plates for about 30 minutes watching customers. The pickup has darked-out wheels on all sides except the driver’s front, which has a stock wheel.

Police described the man with the knife as a white male, 25-30 years old, about 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds. He was wearing a black t-shirt with writing, a dark baseball cap and jeans torn around the ankles. His hair was tucked behind his ears, one of which might have been pierced. Police said he spoke with a distinctive southern accent, had an overbite and a light mustache and goatee.

The second man was wearing a light-colored short-sleeve shirt and had dark hair and a possible beard.

Anyone with information on the incident should call Detective Raynsford at 817-392-4469 or email edward.raynsford@fortworthtexas.gov
