Police provided new information stating prior to the armed robbery a woman had been acting suspicious inside the store and inquired about a game console. She was described as a lighter-skinned female, possibly Hispanic or white, late 20s to early 30s, 5 feet 5 inches, with dark-colored long hair and wearing a black and white-striped dress and dark sandals.

The man was last seen wearing dark clothing and a dark baseball cap, possibly with an Arizona State pitchfork logo on the front. The woman was wearing a dark-colored sweatshirt with the word “Arizona” and the Cardinals logo on the back along with dark legging-style pants and dark sandals.
