AURORA, Colo. (KRDO) -- On July 23rd at 11 p.m. at Rocket Gas Station in Aurora, a man confronted other customers who were speaking Spanish.

The suspect told the customers "they don't belong here." The suspect then followed them to their car.

The suspect sprayed them with gasoline and looked for a lighter to light them on fire, according to Aurora police. The suspect also threw a rock through the back window and stole their keys.

Aurora police are still looking for the suspect who they say is described as about 20-25 years old, 5'6" to 5'9", and described as Hispanic or Asian.
