3100 block of Shepherd Street: At about 9:40 am officers took a report of a citizen robbery. The victim told the officers that as he was walking on his way to vote he was approached by two black males. One of the males displayed a handgun and demanded his property (cell phone, wallet, keys and brief case). After the suspect determined that the victim had nothing of value other than the cell phone he gave the victim back his property minus the cell phone. Both suspects then fled the area on foot in an unknown direction. The victim described the man with the gun as a black male, 18 years of age, with shoulder length dreads, thin build, wearing a black zip-up fleece with a red emblem on it and black track pants.
