An at-large offender robbed three teenagers in Newbold.
The complainants exited Gill Grocery Store, 1400 S. 18th St., at 6:20 p.m. Feb. 12 and came into contact with an unknown individual who pointed a small silver gun at them to demand their money and phones, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The first two victims immediately complied, but the third resisted, leading the aggressor to strike him in the face with the weapon.
Receiving the property, the perpetrator ordered the complainants to leave the block and fired a shot at the third youth, Tolliver said, with the bullet missing its target. The teenagers described the offender as black, 20 to 30 years old and 5-foot-10; having a thin build, light skin and a goatee; and wearing a black hoodie and skull cap.
