Memphis Police Department is seeking the public's help in locating a suspect involved in the armed robbery of an MLGW employee. The incident took place on East Davant Avenue, in the heart of South Memphis, at approximately 1 p.m. on September 24. The FOX13 report describes the suspect as a male, donning a black mask and an orange shirt.
As the Memphis Police Department relayed, the armed individual approached the utility worker, pulled out a handgun, and demanded that the victim lie on the ground before rifling through their pockets. This narrative is corroborated by the information from WREG, which also indicated that other suspects might have been involved, as evident in photos released by law enforcement.
Details of this robbery have been disseminated through both traditional news outlets and official social media channels, with the Memphis Police Department taking to Facebook to request aid from the community. "Anyone with information about this incident should call Crime Stoppers at (901) 528-CASH," the department stated in their Facebook post. Tips can also be submitted anonymously online or through a dedicated mobile app, with the potential for a cash reward if the information leads to an arrest.
The Memphis Police Department urges anyone who might have knowledge of the gunman's whereabouts, or any additional suspects', to reach out to CrimeStoppers at 901-528-2274. With the perpetrator still at large, community cooperation stands as a pivotal element in this ongoing investigation.
