Police are asking for the public’s help identifying the suspect in a Jan. 13 armed robbery at Ellis Island Casino and Brewery near the Strip.

The suspect was described as a black male, 20-30 years old, 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches, 160 pounds and wearing a dark sweatshirt, tan pants, a baseball cap and sunglasses, according to a Metropolitan Police Department news release Wednesday.
