Lawrence Brutti, detective in charge of the murder investigation, said Friday that "an individual who closely resembled Davis" was allegedly seen in the area around Peterson's apartment building several hours before Peterson was murdered.

Police described the suspect whose description, they said, fits Davis's as a black male, aged 20-30, about 5'7", weighing about 150 pounds, of medium completion, and having facial years.
