On Wednesday, December 18, 2024, at 10:50 PM, an unknown Black male entered the Marathon Gas Station at 9600 NW 13th St, Gainesville, FL 32653, and presented a firearm to the store clerk. The clerk escaped the building through the back door, but the suspect chased after him, stopping him by placing the firearm to the clerks back. The suspect forced the clerk to return to the store, where he demanded money from the till and lottery tickets.
The clerk was able to activate the silent panic alarm, but the suspect noticed and then fled the gas station. He escaped toward a roadway behind the gas station. Law enforcement discovered fresh tire tracks in the area, suggesting the suspect fled in an unknown vehicle after being tracked by a K-9 unit.
The suspect is described as a light-skinned Black male, approximately 6’0” tall, with a slender build. He was wearing a black Reebok sweater with white writing and light-colored, soiled shoes. The suspect also had a mask over his face, resembling a medical face covering.
