Investigators are looking into a San Carlos robbery in connection with the death of a man in Corridor.
Police responded to reports of an armed robbery restaurant in the 7200 block of Navajo Rd. just before 9 p.m. Friday night.
The suspect, disguised with a bandanna covering his face, held the clerk at gunpoint and demanded cash. When the owner of the restaurant heard the commotion, he confronted the suspect with a gun himself.
The suspect pointed the gun at the owner, and the owner shot the suspect, police said.
The suspect fled, escaping in a red convertible waiting nearby.
About 15 minutes later, officers were called to reports of a man stumbling along a sidewalk in the 4100 block of 40th st.-- nearly 8 miles away from the restaurant. The man told police he was shot, and in need of medical care.
Medics arrived and transported the man to a hospital. He was pronounced dead as a result of his injuries just after 10 p.m. Friday.
The suspect description in the robbery matches the shooting victim's. Homicide detectives are investigating the crimes together to determine whether they were related.
Anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to call the Homicide Unit at 619 531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at 888 580-8477.
If the robber was the one shot, then there was only the one crime.
LOL! Why does anything have to be logical?
Still, it would be nice to nab the getaway driver. With the way charges are piled on, he may be charged with homicide in the death of his accomplice.
I guess the dude's buddy owned the red convertible and didn't want the dude bleeding anymore all over his nice shiny car. So he kicked him out.
Bad guys have such nice friends.
Another reason not to be a bad guy.
Good shooting, Citizen. Civilization thanks you.
