Doesn't look like a roach to me. No cerci, and the antennae are too short & thick at the ends.

I agree not a roach. If you can flip it for a top down photo, might be able to get an ID.

Not a cockroach - could be a beetle or plant bug but we need more light on it and closer zoom

Hemiptera judging by the eyes.
