people can see on the bottom right hand corner of the screen, this image now put out. what else is your reporting telling you, josh? any minute now we are expecting to get an update from the county sheriff and other law enforcement authorities. it was supposed to take place about a half an hour ago and was pushed back. the big development that law enforcement is now expecting to address is that police have now released more information about the suspect who, is still believed to be on the loose. they are describing him as an asian male, five foot ten 150 pounds. dark complexion. they have released these surveillance photos of this individual as they asked for the public s help in identifying and apprehending him. they identified the closing he was wearing. a black leather jacket, a beanie, was wearing glasses. saying he should be treated as a homicide suspect. police are also now making clear they believe it was the same individual who was at this incident here in monterrey

incident here in monterrey park where ten people, at least, were killed. who also was involved in the second incident about ten minutes away and alhambra. people at a ballroom were able to wrestle a weapon away from a suspect, now believed to be the same person. we also know, from law enforcement, that they are still trying to figure out exactly what happened at that second incident. here is how the county sheriff described it during the last update. we do not have that here for you now. that official was saying that it is hard to tell just because it was an asian male. whether that is relevant? there have been so many questions about whether there could be a hate crime situation here. we have also heard law enforcement say in that section saying that they were still trying to figure out whether the two incidents were
