ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department District 4 officers responded to a call for a robbery at the Mobile Gas Station located on North Grand around 9:45 p.m. on Friday, October 4.
A 26-year-old man told officers he was inside of his car at a gas pump when a man with a gun got into the passenger seat. The man struck the 26-year-old in the head with the gun and demanded the keys to his car, a Chevrolet Equinox.
The man took the keys and left the area.
The 26-year-old man then told officers that he was still at the gas pump when about 30 minutes later a different person with a gun, possibly a juvenile male, ordered him out of the car. The man with the gun began to driver away.
The 26-year-old man held onto the back of his car and was dragged across the gas station lot.
While this was happening, a mini-van was driving north on Grand when someone inside the van started shooting at the 26-year-old man. The man was not shot but did let go of the car and fell to the ground.
Both the Equinox and mini-van were seen driving west on Natural Bridge, away from the gas station.
The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Central Patrol Division at 314-444-2500 for a District 4 detective. Anyone who wants to remain anonymous and/or is interested in a possible reward can call CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS (8477).
