The suspect approached the victim inside of a store, pointed a handgun at her, and indicated for her purse. The victim immediately surrendered her property and the suspect fled.

The victim worked with a sketch artist and the sketch is attached.
A police K9 from the Renton Police Department assisted in attempting to track the suspect but the suspect was not located.
