19-year-old Latorious Walker and 17-year-old Lamar Brooks struck a Louisiana gun store twice in the same day. The armed store owner put an end to their criminal careers.
The store owner filed a report with police after responding to a tripped alarm at his store and discovering several guns missing. Two hours later, the same alarm was tripped.
Police say the teen robbers and the owner had a confrontation at the store as he responded to the alarm.
“The two suspects were in a vehicle and they actually drove the vehicle at him, attempting to hit him. They hit the building and also struck him.” said Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s office PIO Capt. Craig Stansbury.
The owner told police he saw the driver pointing a gun at him. He pulled his gun and fired multiple rounds into the car – striking both assailants.
“We ended up finding the vehicle, I believe, on Linden-Louis road which is not far from the scene. Upon our arrival there we found the driver in the vehicle. He was deceased and had several gunshot wounds. The passenger was also there with one gunshot wound.” said Stansbury.
Police recovered all of the firearms stolen between the two robberies and took Brooks, the surviving suspect, into custody on multiples charges.
Earlier this month, a pair of criminals tried to rob a gun store in Arkansas with similar results.
