The Starkville Police Department is asking for the community’s help identifying a suspect in an armed robbery that took place at a local gas station early Monday morning.

The suspect, who is wearing a hooded sweatshirt and gloves, can be seen forcing one person to the ground at gunpoint and ordering them to stay down.
