What's Missing?

From the FBI and it's report on the shooting of a police officer in Tupelo, Mississippi:  Law enforcement authorities are seeking public assistance with locating an unidentified male suspect who is wanted in connection with the shootings of two Tupelo (Mississippi) Police Department officers on December 23, 2013. The shootings resulted in the death of one officer and the critical wounding of the other officer.
The suspect is also wanted for the December 23 attempted robbery of a bank in Atlanta, Georgia, and the robbery of a Tupelo bank. 
The suspect is described as approximately 5'8" to 6'0" tall with a slender build. The suspect was wearing a facemask, a shirt or jacket with an "Aztec" pattern, khaki pants, and tennis shoes similar to the Converse brand.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of the individual responsible for these violent crimes.  http://www.fbi.gov/news/news_blog
And from the local newspaper:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is handling the investigation, which is now focused on a male suspect said to be about 5-feet-9 to 6-feet tall, thin, with light complexion, possibly African-American. He also might be heavily armed.
The suspect might be in a charcoal color, medium-sized four-door sedan, possibly a Chrysler 200 or a Honda of some type. He also may be on foot, said FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel McMullen during a Monday night press conference.  http://djournal.com/news/two-officers-shot-robbery-one-dies/
First, with the FBI's story, it doesn't give information abut the suspect's car.
And, probably more importantly, it doesn't say anything about the suspect's race and that it was a possible African American doing the shooting.
Why would the FBI leave this out, unless they are trying to be politically correct?
