Chicago Police released surveillance photos Wednesday of the suspect who robbed a female at gunpoint earlier this month at a Pink Line station in the North Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side.

The victim was waiting on the Kedzie Pink Line station platform at 1944 S. Kedzie Ave. at 8:45 p.m. on April 3 when the suspect walked up, pulled out a handgun and forcefully took her property, according to the community alert from Area Central detectives.

The suspect was described as a black male between 17 and 20 years old, 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10 and 140 to 160 pounds.

Anyone who recognizes him is asked to call detectives at (312) 747-8382.
