The 23-year-old victim told officers that he was outside the Burger King restaurant, 363 Harding Place, at 6 p.m. Thursday when Palmer and Muse approached and asked him for a ride to a Wallace Road apartment complex. Once there, the victim said he was pistol whipped and robbed of his 2006 gray Cadillac. He also said a shot was fired at his feet as Palmer and Muse fled.
