If witnesses directed police to Roberto Romera, what OTHER information are police requesting?

Perhaps they would like the public to do all the work and convict this guy.

Because Raymond, the police have the responsibility of conducting a thorough investigation that includes identifying any potential witness to the alleged crime. There could be additional witnesses that were no longer present when the police arrived, or, people that could provide valuable information regarding the events that transpired prior to the assault. That's why they're asking.
