On 12/02/12 at approximately 2021 hours, Santa Paula police officers responded to Junior’s Market (502 N Oak St.) reference an attempted robbery that had just occurred. Upon arrival, officers learned that a lone suspect had entered Junior’s Market, pointed a handgun at the store clerk, and demanded money. The store clerk produced a shotgun and shot at the suspect one time. It did not appear the suspect had been shot. The suspect fled the store and ran away northbound on Oak St. An extensive search was conducted, but the suspect is still outstanding. The suspect was described as an Hispanic male, approximately 20 years-old, 5’5”-5’7”, wearing a black beanie pulled down to his eyes, a blue bandana covering his face to his eyes, and a black sweatshirt with white lettering. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with any information is encouraged to contact SPPD Investigations at 525-4474 x221.
