The suspect may be driving an early 2000's model Chevrolet Silverado truck. The truck is missing its tailgate, has gray primer on the rear driver's side quarter panel, has an aftermarket grill, and no bedliner. The truck's driver's side handle is also damaged, so the driver's side door doesn't open.
