(Enid, OK) The Enid Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in their investigation of a robbery and stabbing that happened in January at the Sonic Drive-in on West Willow.
The EPD responded to a robbery, after 8 p.m. on Jan. 28th, of a Sonic carhop. The carhop was held at knifepoint and suspect stabbed another employee, 18-year-old Enid High School student Zain Dexter. Dexter is recovering from his injuries, but the suspect remains at large.
The robber was seen getting into a dark-colored, new model SUV-style vehicle, which possibly has chrome trim on the taillights, in the 700 block of West Cottonwood and fleeing the area to the south, per the EPD.
The robber was described as a light-skinned white or Hispanic male and is about 5 feet, 7 inches to 5 feet, 9 inches tall with a slender build. He was wearing a colored Snap On hoodie, jeans and a blue hospital mask. He also had a light-blue hat fashioned after “Sesame Street” character Cookie Monster and was wearing gray and white tennis shoes with neon green or yellow soles, EPD said.
The department released stills of security camera footage from the robbery, in hopes someone may be able to identify the suspect.
