On Tuesday, December 26, 2023, at approximately 11:52 a.m., officers responded to the parking lot of the Dollar Tree located at 6607 Crain Highway, for the report of an assault in progress.
According to the victim, the first suspect exited a vehicle, and an argument began which quickly escalated into a physical altercation.
When a witness attempted to intervene and stop the assault, a second suspect exited the vehicle and assaulted the witness, later retrieving a dark colored handgun from the vehicle.
The second suspect pointed the gun at the witness and then “pistol whipped” the victim. The two suspects fled the area in a dark colored Acura, unknown registration.
