Oshkosh Police have identified Darius Shields, a 35-year-old man from Georgia, as a suspect in a burglary committed at Players Pizza & Pub. The incident occurred on Friday morning, shortly after the restaurant was destroyed by a fire on Thursday that collapsed the building's roof. According to law enforcement, Shields is currently at large, and his whereabouts are unknown. Police believe he may be attempting to return to Georgia and have issued a warning to the public to exercise caution if they encounter him. The suspect is described as a Black male of average height with short hair. Authorities released photos showing him wearing a red shirt and black pants. The Oshkosh Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division is actively investigating the case. While the owners confirmed that all patrons and staff escaped the fire without injury, the establishment remains closed for the time being, though they have stated they have adequate insurance to rebuild. Police have not yet specified what items, if any, were stolen during the burglary. Investigators are urging anyone with information regarding Shields' location or the incident to come forward. The public can contact the Oshkosh Police Department directly at 920-236-5700. For those wishing to remain anonymous, tips can be submitted to the Winnebago County Crime Stoppers at 920-231-8477 or through the P3 App. Authorities emphasize the importance of public assistance in locating the suspect and resolving the case.
