A resident at an apartment complex along Rio Grande Avenue, who didn't want to be identified, said he has seen the person of interest.
WESH 2 asked the resident where he had seen the man.
“Walking right there on Rio Grande, sometimes he carries a black bag, suitcase on his hand and then sometimes he even ask me for a dollar,” the resident replied.
The person of interest was seen leaving the parking lot wearing white pants and a pink shirt. He seemed to be holding a bag as he left the parking lot.
"It's just so sad that it's a 13-year-old girl. I would have never expected it at a place like this. This is just beyond me, crazy," another resident said.
The principal of the school she attended, Memorial Middle School, sent a note to families about the girl's death.
OCSO is asking anyone who may have information about Dieujuste's death to call Crimeline at 800-423-8477.
