Thieving trio attacks Best Buy employee

by •

PALMDALE – Palmdale detectives are asking for the public’s help in locating three suspects who tried to steal laptops from a store and then attacked an employee who tried to stop them, authorities said.

The incident happened on June 5 at Best Buy, located at 39330 10th Street West in Palmdale, according to Palmdale Station Detective Rios.

Rios said the trio entered the store around 10:30 a.m. and each suspect grabbed two laptops.

“They each had brand new laptop computers in each hand, so they had six altogether,” Rios said.

The suspects were about to leave the store when they were confronted by an employee. The suspects threatened to kill that employee, and then attacked another employee who tried to stop them from fleeing, Rios said.

The employee suffered lacerations on his face from the attack.

Rios said the men were not able to take the merchandise with them during their escape.

“We want to know if anyone saw any suspicious vehicle behind the store because I think that’s where their car was parked at,” Rios said.

The three suspects are wanted for attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.

Their images were taken from a surveillance video, which captured them entering the store.

If you recognize any of the three suspects or know where they may be hiding, contact Detective Rios at 661-272-2466.

  1. not saying what these guys did was right in any shape fashion or forum,but these racist comments are off the wall !! to all of the racist and stereotyped comments, these guys didn’t do anything that white folks haven’t done, and is still doing ! they have taken land, and lives for many and many of year, decades, and centuries !! so why are you guys looking, and pointing the finger at one race of people?? white folks rape, kill and steal every day, so what do you say about them,do they need to go back from where they come from? TALK TO ME !!!!!!

    • So you are justifying what these guys did at Best Buy by saying “white people did it too…white people did it too”. Are you really that [removed] STUPID???? Nevermind, don’t answer! You ARE THAT [removed] STUPID!

      And while we’re at it…Don’t even try to use history as an excuse for your bad behavior! EVERY SINGLE RACE in history has “stolen” something or killed someone else because of differences — including BLACK PEOPLE!.

      Now since you want to talk about WHO is killing who and WHO is robbing and raping who, let’s pull up some statistics from the U.S. Department of Justice:

      The number of persons known to be involved in the 1,092 robberies, burglaries, and larcenies was 1,254. Broken down by race:

      496 – white
      557 – black

      http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/bank-crime-statistics-2011/bank-crime-statistics-2011-q1

      That doesnt seem so bad until you realize that nationally, black people only make up 13% of the population compared to 81% white people. Once you realize that it takes on an entirely new and ugly dimension and
      shows that black people seem to be prone to commit crime.

      Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.

      Blacks are three times more likely to use a hand gun, and twice more likely to use a knife.

      Blacks are 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against whites then vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit a robbery.

      Forty-five percent of black crime is against whites, 43 against other blacks, and 10 percent against Hispanic.

      Blacks commit 9 times more rapes than Whites.

      Yes, blacks commit more crime against whites (1.58 million crimes per year) than they do against other blacks (1.34 million crimes per year)! Its a virtual war of black criminals and white victims!

      • Hey, dibo.. you just got knocked the F out!
        Sorry couldn’t resist, but it’s spelled Deebo and careful because last time I heard he lived in Palmdale.

        • and for you Mr.[removed] RIDER,i’m not talking about the guy from friday {You [removed] Swipe} check your history on that name !! you 2012 [removed] sucker !!!!!!!

          • My mother passed away 15 years ago! Feel better now? You really show your low I.Q. level when your only comeback is to talk about cock and balls or someone’s mom.

            Living in the closet must be hard on a dumb, gay thug such as yourself!

          • sorry about your mom dude R.I.P,but when you’re heated you say crazy [removed]!! But you need to stop being racist.!.!.And the stats that you gave me you need to go back and read them esp the 2011 one !!

          • Thanks for the condolences, I guess? :/

            Anyway, the reason the statistics are from 2011 is because that year is now over with. We wont have statistics for 2012 until probably February of 2013. Thats the way it goes and it makes sense if you think about it. You cant print statistics for a year when said year is still going, right?

      • i read your stats and i could waste my time going back and forth with you about this [removed], cause i know history!!and if i wanted to agree with those stats thats still embarssing on both [removed] parts dummie, and truefully those numbers are not a big diffrents LOL !! and those stats are just talking about in just one year my friend,the numbers are so close that they can be changed in a blink of a dame eye…but thats not the point of my message in the begining.. my point was and still is, why is there so hate towards the black people,it’s not a prefect race we all do [removed] up [removed] !!! i don’t justify wrong stupied,i just know that wrong doesn’t have a color..what got me defensive was the comments that was made,but i should have kept quiet that way i wouldn’t have arouse stupied people as your self !!!!!!

        • Dido, the comments are being made about the guys in the pictures above with the story. Sounds like you have a big racist chip on your shoulder. Did you just compare the 496 and the 557? You need to read the whole comment to see the stats. Maybe then you will understand why someone might make what appears to be a racist remark. Don’t misunderstand what I am saying, there is definetly racism in this valley, but statisics don’t lie. People do!

          • if you guys got me being racist from my message well then WOW !!!!!! peace and be bless !!!!

        • It doesn’t matter that the statistics I posted were for a single year. You can look up any year and they will still be the same, if not worse. And as far as you referring to me or my post as “stupid”, all I have to do is try to read your post to know that I am dealing with someone who should probably be wearing a helmet and who probably has a lifelong pass to ride the Short Bus!

  2. Ya know, if more people dawned a side arm, I’d be willin to bet a negro hood rat would chose another victim to have that isn’t as dangerous. It’s not enough to just keep a firearm in your trunk, or take a safety course on how to pull the trigger. It has to be visible to be a threat to a negro hood rat. “Then everybody’s gonna shoot everybody!” Wrong… Everyone’s allergic to hot lead flyin around; myself included. But, I’d rather have a chance than not. Now, bring it Lib negros…..

  3. wont be shocked if best buy says the employees had drugs in there system and fire all three while saying its ok for low life welfare scum to rob and harm hard working ppl

  4. I’m so sick of these piece of [removed] people get a job. They are probably milkin the welfare money with a sweet range rover [removed] you give me my hard earned money back. That’s right my taxes pay for your dumbass.

  5. They should get there [removed] to work instead of stealing from people, but no thanks to our lovely government supporting all this dumb [removed] good for nothing. And now have to deal w a black president oh lord have mercy. This world is just jacked up in all ways.

  6. The problem here is too many apartment buildings being built. I am black and have lived here since 1969. We never had this much crime because we were a small community .the more people that move here the more crime you are going to have,not just here but any place in the USA. These guys are an embarrassment to me being black. But if you notice the who got arrested report the criminals are of various races . I think one of the problems is the government saying don’t whip your children. Young people in this day and age have no respect for themselves or others .the music with profanity,the clothing they sell for young girls,the saggy pants young.men wear,people killing each other with out any feelings that it could happen to someone they love. I love living in the age of modern technology especially medical,but do we need to carry on a conversation while driving or in a store idid think that I would ever say this but I long for the good old days ,

  8. All this [removed] again. Damn get the [removed] out of here and go back to africa where u belong. Why is it always the [removed] causing problem. Bull[removed]

  9. All this people are a bunch of low lifes. Its always the black people. Get the [removed] out of country and go back to where u came from bunch of [removed] loosers [removed].

    • Coming from a white person, you need to get off the drugs and stay in school. One, you are ignorant. Two, you do not know how to spell or construct an intelligible sentence.

      • You understood exactly what i was saying. Right? Go back to smoking you’re weed and listening to you’re rock punk music. Until you get you’re ass kicked like reginald denny did back in the days lets see if you care about spelling n grammar.

    • wow. i didnt knoe this was your damn country for you to tell blacks to go bak where they came from! and im not even black !!! last time i check our God doesnt discrimante soo you dumb ignorant peiple shoudnt neither … jbird tweak you perfect man send fron above =\

  10. Where are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson condemning these crimes done by black citizens of this country?

    Oh, they would have been there if there was a white security guard that shot these guys after being attacked though.

    Why doesn’t the black community step up and turn in their criminals instead of protecting them behind a cloak of racism.

    • If Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson got involved, they’d take the stance that the “racist white door greeter was racially profiling, and singled out the poor black man as a shoplifter just because he was black”.

  11. Keep your eyes open for the guy in the red shoes. Criminals will change their clothes, but they will wear shoes and sometimes ball caps with everything.

    • If you want the publics help, you are going to have to come up with better pictures and discriptions than what you have supplied.

      • Hey Ed, I didn’t supply the pictures, nor do I have anything to do with law enforcement or Best Buy. Soooo whateverrrr.
        My point is the red shoes will show up again at some point and in combination with the pictures that we have now all seen, we, as community member may recognize him and his “band of brothers”.

  12. Is it my imagination or does 1 of these guys look like the guy who hit the Walmart greeter with the bottle of alcohol? Another reason why my family doesn’t go to the store after dark.
    Sad to live in a town like this.

  14. More transplanted ghetto hood rats from Compton doing what they do they do best! But we’re all supposed to turn the other way and not notice that they all happen to be black males. Okaaaay!

  15. So ANOTHER black male attacking a hard working, tax paying employee. It’s these kinds of news story that make people “profile” blacks! Maybe there IS a truism behind “profiling”!

  16. I posted this re: the walmart story but here is yet another example of my assertion…
    No, no problems here in the AV… No no problems in this town with young black men victimizing innocent people… the only problem here is a bunch or racist white folks picking on minorities for being on section 8…gimme a break people in this town sound racist because they are genuinely in fear because of an undesireable influx over the past decade of young black men who victimize our community… I challenge somebody to compile the arrest stats by race where the suspect was unknown to the victim ( ie robbery, assault, burglary, carjacking) the type of crimes that normal harworking people find themselves the victim of… people are in fear and not because they are racist, its because they are smart enough to identify a pattern!!!

    • Here, here! All I have to do is agree. I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking what most are writing. Coincidence? I doubt it. Hood Negros need to go back to Compton, or their maker. They can make the choice.

  17. i have a feelin these good hearted god fearing christians had good reason to do this lets not jump to any conclusions… maybe there government assistance check was late so they had to make some mony thats not there fault its pretty much everyone elses fault,, i think these guys have a good lawsuit on there hands

    • At the time the prison was built in Quartz Hill there was little crime, homes were occupied by owners and most shopping was done in ‘mom and pop’ stores. It wasn’t long before relatives and friends of the prison inmates became aware of the low rents in the apartment complexes and it was just a matter of time that more complexes were built to accomodate Section 8 renters. Original home owners moved out as drugs became a serious problem in the late 80’s, early 90’s. Just about every public phone booth at/near a business, or on a street corner, had someone with a pager ready to ‘do business’ It just seems to have gotten worse and worse. No point in me going on and on as nothing is going to change and people continue to say ‘well, that’s progress’ BS
