The police report from the armed robbery at Country Deli-Grocery on Monday, Nov. 15 was released on Nov. 19 and provides further details. Southwest Precinct Operations Lieutenant Pierre Davis said detectives are still searching for the suspect as of Nov. 19.

According to the police report, at 6:17 p.m. on Nov. 15 the suspect walked into the store wearing a puffy black jacket with the hood up, dark clothes and sunglasses.

The only clerk on duty told the suspect to remove his sunglasses and hood, “but the suspect just smiled at him and stood there” while a woman in front of him completed her transaction.

After the female customer left, the clerk told the suspect he would not sell him anything, then the suspect walked up to the counter and pulled a “chrome over black pistol from his left hip and pointed it at him.”

The robber demanded all of the money in the till and told the clerk to show him underneath the till tray, then produced a black plastic bag which the clerk filled with approximately $250.

The suspect fled westbound on s.w. Kenyon St and the clerk called 911.

Officers responded and did an area check but were unable to locate the suspect. After reviewing video footage of the robbery, police saw the suspect “pacing back and forth” on the south side of the building before entering and said, “When he pulled the gun from his left hip, he appeared to be left handed.”

The report also mentioned that the store had been robbed several times last year.
