FONTANA (CBSLA.com) — Police asked for the public's help Thursday to identify a man who robbed a convenience store at gunpoint in Fontana.

He was described as a Hispanic man in his 20s, about 5-foot-6, 180 pounds, with a thin build and a goatee, wearing a blue and black jacket and a Pittsburg Steelers black T-shirt.
