WEST ALLIS — A sketch of a female believe to be one of two suspects in the Sept. 15 stabbing death of Ryan Sorensen was released by West Police police Wednesday. The department held a press conference to provide updates in the case.

"Someone knows who these people are and they have not come forward," West Allis Police Chief Mitchell said. "Our belief would be they are local to this area."

The father of the 33-year-old plead for the community to come together, saying someone must know the two responsible for killing his son in the 2000 block of S. 71st Street in the early morning hours of that September day.

The police chief said they had worked with witnesses of the event to provide a description of the female and have exhausted all options of surveillance footage options.

The female suspect is described as a white female, 20-30 years of age, 5 ft. 5 in. tall, 130 pounds with short blonde hair with pink and blue highlights. She was wearing a black sweatshirt and pink yoga pants with a white stripe at the time of the stabbing.

The other suspect is a white male, 20-30-years-old, 5 ft. 8 in. tall. He was wearing a black sweatshirt, tan shorts and a small pink backpack.

The two suspects were riding mountain bikes before and after the altercation with Sorensen. They were last seen traveling northbound on S. 71st Street.

Sorensen's father held back tears as he spoke of his son.

"It's been rough. Hard to comprehend. He was a good man. 1,400 people showed up for his funeral. He was loved. He was a good guy. He's missed by a lot of people."

No arrests have been made in relation to the case, according to a release.

A $2,000 reward has been issued for the arrests.
