Newly released video stills show a male suspect who arrived at the party with three other men at approximately 11:45 p.m.

The male is described as a shorter white male, skinny build, with brown mop style haircut.

At the time of the incident, he was wearing a black T-Shirt, dark pants, and dark shoes.

The four males spoke with the party organizers several minutes before the foursome was kicked out of the gathering.
