HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (KTLA) -- Police have released surveillance video of a person of interest believed to be connected to the recent rash of car fires in and around the Hollywood area.

LAPD officials said Sunday that they would like to question a suspect described as an older white male with a receding hairline and shoulder-length ponytail.

He was caught on tape, wearing a full black outfit, leaving the scene of a car fire Saturday night inside the parking structure at the Hollywood and Highland complex.

I’d be looking at sociology professors in the area colleges. You have to have a long gray ponytail to be a sociology professor. If you don’t have one, you won’t even be interviewed. You have to buy a clip-on.

Person of interest with that description on the west side? Narrows it down to 4-5,000.

Someone set a fire under a car in my neighborhood last night.

I can’t believe there are not copycats. Someone is going to get caught!

Could be Latino, Asian or White. The shorts say Latino. The hat or haircut says white. The tennis shoe type says moron. Looks like they purposely blurred the top half of the image for some reason. His bottom half has a tighter focus then his top half.

I believe the person of interest is the guy behind the kid in shorts.

“I can’t believe there are not copycats. Someone is going to get caught!”

Have you heard any one express thoughts about why they aren’t hitting black neighborhoods? Coincidence? I haven’t heard anyone even speculate. Fairfax, Wetside, Hollywood, Valley?

Well that is even worse. He could be middle eastern and he is completely out of focus.

It’s not the guy in the shorts it’s the guy next to him in the full black outfit as mentioned in the article. The arrow is clearly pointing to him not the guy in shorts.

Reread the article, and you appear to be correct. They state he is an older man. Cannot see his pony tail. But quite frankly, that older guy up above appears to be a professional operative to me. Just an impression. Working for some government or professional organization. He has a lot of purpose and planning in his walk and dress. The young guy appeared more Occupy Whatever to me.

The video, imbedded in a newscast with parts of it repeatedly shown, is posted at LA Observed. I have to say I can't see the pony tail. Maybe it's visible as he comes up the stairs, but in the embedded version you can't see much. What cracks me up is the height estimate ... 5'8" to 6'2". Yah.

They could have referenced the arrow in the first couple of paragraphs. Looks just like a loose windows mouse pointer to me. I always ignore those :> Thanks for the correction.

Thanks for that link. He is not 6’ 2”. And he has an unusual walk. He leans to the right and left with every step. Definitely not the barrio walk. It is an unusual walk. He looked behind when he got out of the stairs. Was also stepping up two stairs at a time. In a big hurry. That has to be the main suspect.

He leans to the right and left with every step.

Is it because he is heavy? I could see it that way.
