Panicking, German cockroach in CA?

Just saw this on my garage wall. I know German roaches aren’t usually found in garages but the two stripes on the head are freaking me out.

I unfortunately was NOT able to catch this one, it escaped and I have no clue where it is so I’m panicking. We’ve had a lot of roach nymphs in the bathroom that have not looked like German roaches, but I did see one in the kitchen 5 months ago.

Is this a German roach? If this is a German roach, is it male or female?

Who is this?

Which kind is this? Found in the kitchen / living room area of my stacked townhouse. I'm on the upper unit of 3 units in a brand new build. Ontario GTA área. Sorry I squished it first!

What roach is this?

I live in NYC and in a house but it's connected to the nextdoor house. I found this on my stack on books on my desk and grabbed a tissue and killed it. It was out when the lights in my own bedroom were on 🤦‍♀️. I just want assistance with how to identify because apparently I crushed the head and I don't know what roach this is. I wish my camera was better. Thank you in advance. And I live in Brooklyn if that's any help.

Is this a German Cockroach or an outdoor wood one? Bedroom floor upstairs in NJ

Context: I saw this in my upstairs bedroom just chilling on the floor. I take out my trash every single night, never leave dishes undone. I’m pretty clean but the only thing is I have a cat and his food crumbs might sometimes be out. I live in an area in NJ with lots of trees and wildlife. I found the roach on the floor of my bedroom next to a window that I was slightly ajar for 24-36 hours. Not to sway what it could be, but maybe it climbed in? We’re in stinum right now. The pictures are not that great.

Wood roach or German?

Long Island, NY. We’ve been getting a lot of wood roaches in our house whcih look like German, but the other tenant in my building also saw some German roaches recently (exterminators have been treating the whole home).

American cockroach? Bathroom (DC metro area)

Found in bathroom. DC metro area. This is the 12th in about 3 months. At first it was mostly hard to id nymphs (possibly American, oriental, or wood) but in the past few weeks I’ve seen 2 older oriental cockroaches and now this one. I’ve been spraying monthly with alpine and have a bunch of sticky traps around. Just wanna know how much I should be worried.
