The Billings Police Department is asking anyone who attended the carnival on either 5/28 or 5/29 at any time of the day to review any pictures or videos they may have taken that show other carnival attendees that could aid in identifying involved individuals.

Detectives have determined that multiple people of interest are believed to have fled the scene on foot and on bicycles traveling towards 6th Avenue North via North 7th Street and then into the residential neighborhood around North Park. The Billings Police are asking the public with property within the highlighted area in the attached map to review any security footage they may have at their business or residence from 4/29 between the hours of 10:50 pm until 11:30 pm.
