No arrests have been made in Friday’s armed robbery north of Kirby Smith Hall along Aster Street, said LSUPD spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde. The investigation is still ongoing.
Lalonde said the incident took place just before 6:30 p.m. Friday as the victim was walking alone on Aster Street.
The suspect approached the victim and lifted his shirt to show a handgun in the waistband of his pants, Lalonde said.
Lalonde said the suspect took the victim’s wallet and cell phone and fled the area on foot, heading north on Alaska Street.
The victim was unharmed in the incident.
The victim described the suspect as a thin, black male about 6 feet tall with a light complexion and a small amount of facial hair.
Lalonde said the victim described the suspect as wearing dark-colored pants with a dark-red or brown top, possibly a hoodie, and a beanie or skull cap on his head.
