Patrol Report: On Tuesday, 13 August, 2013, at approximately 1730 hours, Ms. Melinda walked along La Loma Avenue. After 20 minutes she reached the Crosby Department Store, located near the intersection of Hearst Avenue and La Loma Avenue. She entered the shop to buy her monthly groceries. 30 minutes later, she finished her shopping and went to the cash counter to make the payment.

The suspect also took 3 Nokia mobile sets, an ASUS laptop and 3 cartoons of Benson and Hedges cigarette. Mr Perez was running the store with the help of Michael Tully, his employee. Michael Tully, who wanted to put up resistance, was shot twice - one bullet stuck in his right arm and the other lodged in his left thigh. He then went up to the cash register and pointed a handgun at the store owner Mr. Alan Perez. He gestured threatening while demanding that Perez give him the money from the register. The store owner  then had no other option and handed over 2700 US dollars to the suspect. There were only 2 customers in the store. One was Andrea Chao, who heard he robbery taking place but did not see it as she was in the store restroom at the time. The other was Ms. Melinda with cash in her hands waiting to make payment for the groceries she had purchased. The third suspect sighting the cash in Melinda's hand pointed a Berretta at her and demanded the money. As she refused, the suspect shot her on the knee and as she was falling down, snatched the money from her hands. He then bent down and took her purse as well.
After obtaining the money from the register, the two suspects ran out of the store into the parking lot and got into a silver colored Chevrolet. The person in the driver's seat a young woman in her mid-twenties quickly drove off in a northerly direction. The whole operation took 15 minutes..
