In an effort to apprehend a suspect involved in an armed robbery, the Atlanta Police Department has made a public appeal for assistance following an incident last week at a Citgo gas station on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway. According to the victim's account, while filling up his vehicle last Wednesday, January 29, a man brandishing a firearm approached from behind and demanded his possessions before striking him in the face and fleeing on foot with his wallet, as reported by FOX 5 Atlanta.
The authorities are circulating a description of a person of interest who was seen wearing a green camouflage jacket or hoodie, blue pants, and black sneakers, the assailant was described as a Black man and after the assault he made his escape on foot leaving the victim in disarray, and data from Crime Stoppers Atlanta indicates that a reward of up to $2,000 is on offer for information leading to an arrest and indictment related to this case.
Further details were provided by Atlanta News First, confirming that surveillance footage from the site of the robbery has been reviewed, showing the suspect as he approached the victim at the designated location of 2685 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway NW around 9 p.m.
Anyone who may have knowledge about the incident or can aid in identifying the individual involved is strongly encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta via their tip line, and the police continue their investigation urging the community for support, hoping to leverage any piece of information, however seemingly inconsequential, that can assist in bringing the suspect to justice and restoring a sense of security to the afflicted area.
