On Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at 4:13 pm, the

an unknown male holding a handgun and demanded their money. The suspect began
going through the fathers pockets and then struck him in the face with the gun
for no apparent reason. The complainant’s son then pushed the suspect back in
an attempted to protect his father and a struggle ensued. The suspect then shot
the son twice, striking him once in the face. The bullet struck him in the cheek, traveled
through his throat and then lodged in his shoulder. Both victims were
