From VCU Police:

ROBBERY SUSPECT: Our detectives are working to identify and locate one suspect following a robbery on Sept. 23, 2022, on VCU’s Monroe Park Campus.
On Sept. 23 at 3:21 p.m., a victim reported a robbery in the 700 block of West Main Street. The victim was approached by an unknown male who attempted to take their bag, which was on their shoulder. When the victim resisted, and told the subject “no”, the suspect displayed a black magazine from a firearm and took the victim’s bag. (In the initial report, the suspect reportedly displayed a firearm.)

Detectives are releasing the following photos in an attempt to identity the suspect.
