Earlier today, a robbery occurred at the intersection of Harrell Street and Faxon Avenue in Memphis. According to their social media post, the incident took place at 4:57 a.m. when the perpetrator, described as a black male in his mid-30s with a slim build, approached the victim's vehicle while they were resting inside and at gunpoint, demanded their wallet; following the robbery, a text message alerted the victim to the use of a card at a Q-Mart, with evidence suggesting the culprit is the same individual, as reported by the Memphis Police Department est.1827 on their Facebook page.
The Memphis Police Department est.1827 provided a detailed description of the suspect, who was last seen wearing a black jacket and gray hoodie, black pants, a black ski mask, with a distinct gold chain around his neck, and despite the clear description and evidence linking to the suspect's use of the victim’s card no arrests have been made and the investigation continues.
Local authorities are seeking assistance to apprehend the individual responsible for the robbery and are urging anyone with information to come forward; individuals can anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at (901) 528-CASH or submit a tip online at their website, a method that secures the informant’s identity while potentially leading law enforcement to the suspect and possibly earning them a cash reward from Crime Stoppers of Memphis and Shelby County, Inc.
