Authorities have released sketches of a man suspected of using a hammer to bludgeon a 74-year-old Pentecostal minister to death in Brockton last month.

Police say they are looking for an English-speaking, light-skinned Hispanic or Cape Verdean male between the ages of 16 and 29. Authorities say the man is between 5-feet-10 inches and 6-feet tall with a thin build. The suspect has black hair worn in a ponytail, is clean shaven and was believed to be wearing a navy Red Sox hat with a red brim the night of Aug. 20 when Lee Harmon was killed.

Authorities say the suspect was also believed to be wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, light-colored shorts, black sneakers, and possibly a white T-shirt underneath his sweatshirt on the night of the crime.
