                           May 4, 2021
            THOMPSON, Circuit Judge.       Defendant-appellant Juan E.

Seary-Colón ("Seary") was charged with Hobbs Act robbery, in

violation of 

(a) (Count One); murdering a person

through the use of a firearm during a crime of violence, in

violation of 

(j) (Count Two); possessing a firearm

in furtherance of a crime of violence, in violation of 

(c)(1)(A)(iii) (Count Three); and being a convicted felon in

possession of a firearm, in violation of 

(g)(1)

(Count Four).    After a three-day trial, the jury convicted him on

all counts.     Seary now challenges the district court's denial of

his motion to suppress identification evidence, the sufficiency of

the evidence supporting his convictions, and the district court's

determination that Hobbs Act robbery qualifies as a "crime of

violence"     under   

(c),   which   underpinned   his

convictions on Counts Two and Three.       Finding no error, we affirm.

                              I.    Background

A.   Factual Background

            On April 3, 2012, around 3:20 p.m., two men entered the

Piezas Importadas located on Monserrate Avenue in Carolina, Puerto

Rico, to commit a robbery.          Piezas Importadas is an auto parts

store that sells merchandise obtained from suppliers located in

the mainland and abroad.       April 3rd, 2012 was a busy day at the

store, and several customers and employees were around at the time


                                     -2-
of the robbery.   Five employees, including José Méndez-del Valle

("Méndez") and the store manager David Méndez-Calderón ("Méndez-

Calderón"), were working behind the service counter facing the

door through which the robbers entered.    As the store owner's wife

and store accountant, María Judith Sanabria-Rivera ("Sanabria"),

was getting ready to leave for the day and was heading towards the

door, the two men burst into the store.      The first man to enter

was wearing a cap and a dark hoodie.      He entered the store while

brandishing a firearm, announced the robbery, and ordered everyone

to "lie on the ground."    Sanabria noticed that the man had "very

specific" eyebrows that "were marked going up and then thin coming

down; not . . . like . . . regular eyebrows that men usually have."

She also noticed that he had a peculiar tattoo on his left leg,

which had light, basic colors, "not like the tattoos that are used

nowadays with . . . lot[s] of color[s]."     Before anyone could get

down, the gunman walked straight to the service counter, pointed

his gun at Méndez-Calderón, and shot him once in the face.   Méndez-

Calderón fell to the ground and died shortly thereafter as a result

of the gunshot wound.     The gunman started walking from one side

of the store to the other while cursing and yelling at everyone

not to look at him.   Meanwhile, the other robber jumped over the

service counter and asked Méndez for the store's petty cash.

Méndez complied and handed him a metal box with appr
