Pizza joint hold-up/Murder in Akron, Ohio w/video. Does the shooter look like BM to Y'all?

Greetings-

I was on another site and saw this thread re: this robbery/murder at a pizza parlor in Akron, Ohio. The shooter in this video does NOT look like a Black Male to Me, looks to be a Female. The skin that is exposed by the eyes (brow area) looks to be way lighter than Black and being a retired cop who has seen 100s of grainy, crappy surveillance tapes I surely wouldn't get enough info from this tape released by the Akron PD to list as "Black Male"..

What do You think? I know it reads "...and possibly a female..."

Also the Victim has a Mid-East type name so does that play into it?

youre right from the video alone its yoo hard ti tell. they must have been going off of the victims description. nothings telling me its not some skinny light skinned black male though. would help if there was sound but being a security tape i guess it doesnt record sound.

Definitely looks female. Skin color is too hard to determine from the video, could be White, Hispanic, Latino or light skinned Black or bi-racial.

I'm a little surprised that you're a retired cop, I don't think robberies generally have much to do with the ethnicity or religion of the person being robbed.

It's sad the young man was robbed of his life.

Just a couple of things, First off; this is a tragedy, a senseless execution, although the victim complied....

The shooter had a swagger gate and at one point in the vid, it looked as if there was longer blonde hair on the back of the shooters head. Secondly, notice how the shooter has trigger recognition during the hold up, also setting the weapon down on its side prior to receiving the cash; the shooter constantly moved the weapon w/the subject at all times....

I cannot surmise due to the low quality the skin color or gender of the shooter- I will add, I am curious the names of the other victims (with all of the hate in the past weeks)

Sad, sad and so young

It plainly says in the article they believe one may be female. The person in the video is a woman. Look at the hips, buttocks, legs and if you notice, when "she" turns slightly, you see roundness in the chest.

Though the suspects are described as black males, ages 16-25 years old wearing all black and ski masks, police say one suspect may be a female.

Looks like an ISIS member.

I'll go with female.

Things like this are why I will never just go along with a robbery. I carry and in a situation like this, I'm going for it. The guy cooperated and was still shot and killed.

Nah, if you can't figure out the identity of the perp, then it must be assumed to be a right wing radical Republican white racist.

No need to make this complicated.

It could be a bonnie and clyde type group and now they've killed someone i'm sure they've moved well out of the area, but to kill a kid for the money from a pizza till is pretty low even for most nasty people so i hope they're found and put away for a very long stretch

I'm guessing they have more info than just this tape. I guess what really struck Me was I read the Suspect info and trying to surmise how they got "Black Male" . I was taught that unless You were certain of the description then it is "Unk." until further updates, this then doesn't screw up responding officers and especially if a perimeter is set up.

I lived in Akron for 7 years and my family has been there longer. This is a dangerous city and it is completely overflowing with thugs of all colors. Welfare and section 8 housing in every corner of the city . The master plan is working perfectly for them unfortunately for the Akronites.

Surprised? I broke My back and neck during a search warrant, although in today's climate, a part of Me is glad that I am retired. With the "stinkers" in today's society I maybe would have picked up My very first Citizen's Complaint, but My "jacket" is 'clean'..

One of My last cases was very similar but at a paint store where the wife had Her new boyfriend rob/kill Her husband, so it is sometimes best not to rush to a conclusion. Now was the victim shot due to His ethnicity? I don't know but it can't be ruled out until more is known about the victim more than a Google search.
