According to Barman, the incident occurred Sunday morning, U.S. time. “Mohamed Said Al-Bajli, a city police officer, suspected a person who was riding a bicycle. He informed the police station that he had spotted someone who might be suspicious or in need of help, confirming that he was following him to check the situation and assist if necessary.”

The Melvindale police obtained photos and a video showing the suspect, identified as Michael Lopez, 44 years old, of Spanish descent, riding his bicycle. They managed to locate his residence, a motel.
