District 4 is investigating a robbery that happened on April 15, 2025 at North Market Street & Prairie Avenue.
A 17-year-old male told officers he was walking on Prairie around 3:30 p.m. when two male suspects approached him from behind. The teen said the suspects accused him of talking negatively about someone, and then they produced firearms and announced a robbery.
The 17-year-old said the suspects took his phone, money, shoes and jackets. At that point, a third male suspect pulled up in a black Ford Fusion. The teen said he ran away and then heard gunshots before the suspects fled in the Ford.
No injuries were sustained during the incident. The investigation is ongoing.
