At the time of the incident, they were seen wearing a black trucker hat, a black windbreaker-type jacket (possibly covering a white t-shirt), dark-colored sagging jeans with rhinestones on the back pockets, and flat-soled Nike shoes. In the news release, Hillsborough PD thanked the community for its support in the ongoing investigation. It said that police are asking local residents and businesses to look at any security camera footage from 'the afternoon or evening of February 22, 2025, for any unfamiliar individuals matching the description or any suspicious activity.
