PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. - WINK News now has a sketch of a man wanted in the murder of a federal agent.

It happened Tuesday near Miami at a Pembroke Pines post office. Authorities say 52-year-old agent Donald Pettit was with his young daughter when he was shot by a man during some sort of fight. The gunman took off after firing at least one shot. No one else was injured.

Police issued a sketch of the suspect. He is described as white, possibly Hispanic, between 50 and 60 years old, about six feet tall, medium to heavy build with gray and white bushy hair and distinctive sagging cheeks.

Authorities in Collier County are on alert because investigators say he may have escaped across Alligator Alley.

I don't understand why you keep grouping people from latin countries with hispanics. They are latino's. If he's identified as white he's probably of Cuban dissent, especially coming from Miami. Orango was cuban also not hispanic. Hispanics are usually from Mexico or Spain. Get it right.
