The second suspect is described as a white male. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, gray pants, a black backpack, and black sneakers with white soles.

Investigators are asking anyone in the area to check their dash cams or surveillance footage between 5:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. Oct. 25 for evidence related to the case.
