The victim stated he was with a co-worker standing at the rear of the shopping center near a footpath when an unknown subject approached them and brandished a firearm. The subject demanded the victim's wallets. The reporting victim was then struck by the subject, who then t fled the area on foot towards a nearby apartment complex. As deputies were searching the scene, the second victim contacted the Sheriff's Office to report the incident.
