PHOENIX — Police are asking the public for help identifying two teenagers accused of robbing two people at gunpoint in a shopping center parking lot last year.

Phoenix police say the robbery took place last May near 75th Avenue and McDowell Road.

The suspects reportedly followed the two victims out to their truck and demanded they hand over their gold chains.

One of the suspects then allegedly pulled up his shirt, showing a handgun and threatening to shoot the victims.

A victim gave the two suspects a gold chain and the two fled the scene on foot.

The first suspect is described as an 18-year-old Hispanic man, roughly 5'10" weighing about 185 pounds. He had brown eyes and a heavy-set build.

Police say this suspect also has an identifiable and unique tattoo on the back of his right hand which may help in identifying him.
