i am related to one of the victims.. the man with the gun was white. the other 3 men in the car were black. they were driving a dark 4 door sedan with the plate # starting with e.
there were 2 other robberies before the kidnapping. Thank God noone was hurt.
Of course they wont post a description of the perp. That would be racist!
Ok, so you want to catch this perp? Is it too obvious to give a description!!! What’s the deal? It’s ironic that everything else is described & mapped. Why???????
