The second man was 6 feet tall, 165 pounds, with short, black, curly hair, a goatee and mustache, wearing dark pants and a pair of pantyhose over his hair, police said.

The third suspect was described by police as Persian, in his mid 20s, 5-feet-6, with black, collar-length hair and a goatee. He was wearing a black, button-down shirt and blue jeans, police said.
