Police: Man Pulls Gun Outside St. James 7-Eleven

A man who pulled a gun on a woman in a Saint James 7-Eleven parking lot two weeks ago is still on the loose, police said.

On the morning of March 28, the two men were parked in a car at the 7-Eleven parking lot located at 356 Lake Avenue in St. James. The man in the passenger seat left the vehicle and held a black ‘semi-automatic-looking’ pistol to a woman’s head as she entered her vehicle. The two men then drove off in a dark-colored, four-door sedan on Lake Avenue.

A statement from Crime Stoppers said the man who pulled the gun might have taken “exception to the fact that a 21-year-old woman ‘looked wrong’ at him or said ‘Hi’ to him as she exited 7-Eleven.”

According to the statement, both men are described as white males in their twenties. The driver of the vehicle is described as being  5-foot 8-inches with an average build. The suspect with the gun was described as wearing gray sweatpants and a black hooded sweatshirt at the time of the incident.
