Police said that Antoine Adams and Tommie Parker, entered the Des Plaines store at 1587 S. Lee St. at 12:40 p.m., brandished pistols and locked the door to the store, police said. A third man, Ronaldo Crawford, acted as a look out and getaway driver. The men inside the store demanded cash and filled bags with cellphones and electronics, police said.
