The FBI on Friday released the composite sketch of a suspect in the bombing of the NAACP Colorado Springs chapter.

The FBI believes a man described as white, about 40 years old, and balding may have been involved in the explosion. The man was seen by a witness carrying something into an alley near the building that houses the NAACP and leaving empty-handed at the time of the explosion.

The FBI is investigating an explosion near the building that houses the NAACP and a hair salon on Tuesday. Investigators found an improvised explosive device near the building.

According to Thomas Ravenelle, FBI the special agent in charge, authorities are also looking a person who was “upset” at the NAACP office a few weeks before the bombing.
