The victim was washing his car around 9:50 p.m. at Blanca Car Wash at 1520 Freedom Blvd. when a man approached and offered to sell him a car stereo, according to police.
When the victim declined and continued washing his car, the suspect pulled out a handgun and demanded the victim's wallet, police said.

Police said the suspect was alone in his car and was last seen driving north on Freedom Boulevard toward K-Mart. Officers combed the area but were unable to locate the suspect or the suspect vehicle.

He was wearing a black baseball cap and a brown long-sleeve shirt at the time of the robbery.
