Background: On
Jan. 1, 2013 at approximately 2:40 a.m. a grey Pontiac Grand Am occupied by
three males was waiting in a McDonalds drive-thru located at 15333 Castledowns
Road. An unknown male suspect approached the vehicle and a physical altercation
ensued where a knife was used by the suspect.
Witnesses intervened and the suspect then reportedly fled the scene on
foot. Two victims sustained serious injuries as a result of this incident, one
of whose injuries are described as life-altering. The EPS issued a news release on Feb. 21, 2019 with a
sketch of the suspect asking the public for help in identifying the male.
