The Hampton Police Division is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect responsible for a robbery that occurred at a convenience store in the 100 block of S. Armistead Avenue on March 21, 2007.

The investigation revealed that at approximately 1:25 a.m., the suspect entered the store and asked the clerk for three cartons of cigarettes. The clerk placed the items in a bag on the counter. The suspect then asked for something else behind the counter. The clerk turned around and placed the bag with the cigarettes on the floor. The suspect walked behind the counter, grabbed the bag with the cigarettes in it and pushed the female clerk causing her to fall.

She suffered a broken wrist because of the fall. The suspect then ran from the store, got into a vehicle, and drove off. The suspect is described as a black male with a very light complexion, between 30 and 40-yearsold, 5’3”-5’5” tall, between 140-150 pounds. The suspect has many freckles on his face. He was wearing jeans, a brown long sleeve t-shirt with writing on the front, a white do-rag with a white baseball cap with red flames. He was last seen driving off in an older model white possibly Cadillac or Mercury that had a dark colored ragtop. He was last seen heading westbound on Chapel Road.

On Wednesday, March 14, 2007 at 2:50 p.m., Police responded to the neighborhood park in the Level Green section of Virginia Beach for shots fired in the park. When the police units arrived, they learned all the parties involved had left according to several witnesses who explained what had taken place moments before.

According to investigators, 8 or 9 teenagers believed to members of a local gang were sitting around the picnic table near the basketball court when a Mercedes SUV pulled into the parking lot. The passenger, a 17 year-old rival gang member approached the group and exchanged words. As he was walking back toward his vehicle shots were fired from the group toward him and the SUV. The driver, a twenty year-old female who was sitting in the vehicle, was grazed in the back of her neck by a passing bullet. Several rounds stuck the rear of the SUV.

When the shots rang out several juveniles playing basketball in the park started running away down Level Green Blvd. The passenger of the SUV jumped out of the vehicle and started beating up one of the juveniles with a dog leash. Citizens approached the attacker and yelled at him to stop. He then ran back to the SUV, got in the drivers side and then drove the injured female to a local hospital where she was treated and released for a minor graze.

The intensive investigation has resulted in the arrest of three juveniles, ages 14-17, residents of Virginia Beach. All are currently being held at the Virginia Beach Juvenile Detention Center on petitions involving Malicious Assault, Predicate Criminal Act (gang activity), and Possession with intent to distribute Marijuana. Other charges may be pending.
