"I'm asking all you lifers in the city of Carson, to speak up. I know you guys know something. Somebody out there knows something." 

Police released a sketch of the male, adult suspect, a neighbor, who was also punched, assisted the sketch artist with the image. He's described as as a Latino man in his 20s with a light complexion and short, curly hair. He was last seen wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt, dark shorts and a dark baseball cap, deputies said.
