The Fort Worth Police Department is reaching out to the public for information to identify two suspects involved in an aggravated robbery incident.
The incident occurred on February 2, 2024, approximately 7:50 p.m., at the Paradise Food Store located at 9913 White Settlement Rd.

The suspects then fled east and south on Academy Blvd, eventually getting into a dark-colored vehicle and driving south on Academy.
