St. Petersburg police detectives are searching for a man who fired a handgun
during an armed robbery at the Exxon Gas Station at 901 4th St. N. late
Saturday night, November. 25, 2023.
Shortly before 11:30 p.m. Nov. 25, 2023, a man carrying several food items
approached the cashier’s counter and paid for them with cash. When the store
clerk handed the man his change, the customer pulled a handgun from his
waistband and demanded money. He fired a shot before walking out of the store.
The clerk ran unharmed to a back room and called 911.
The armed man was described as white, approximately 18 to 22 years old, 6 foot
tall, and 170 pounds. He was last seen wearing a blue T-shirt over a gray
hooded sweatshirt, a dark-colored baseball cap with a Nike swoosh tucked under
the hoodie, blue jeans, a white mask over his nose and mouth, blue surgical
gloves on his hands, and black and white sneakers.
Anyone with information about the gunman is asked to call St. Petersburg
police at 727-893-7780, or text SPPD + your tip to TIP411.
