On February 26, 2019, at approximately 2:50 p.m., two male Black
suspects exited an orange Ford Mustang with paper plates in front
of a jewelry store at the 800 block of North Broadway.

The first suspect was carrying what appered to be a black semi-auto
rifle. The second suspect was carrying a hammer. The owners of the
jewelry store saw the suspects approaching the door and locked the
door. The first suspect attempted to enter the store and upon
realizing the door was locked, turned around and both suspects ran
back to the waiting Ford Mustang.

Mustang. The ride share vehicle lost sight of the Ford Mustang as
it headed southbound Alameda at Cesar Chavez.
