Nino WilliamsA 17-year-old boy was robbed at gunpoint on Wednesday morning at a Shell gas station located at 3440 Wilcox Blvd. The suspects were all in custody by that evening, thanks to a county-wide search and footage from a public safety camera.
The boy told Chattanooga police two men, later identified as Nino Williams and Gerald Green, both 20, came up to him and took $150 in cash from his pockets and removed a set of speakers from the trunk of his car, Hamilton County Court records show. The speakers were encased in a custom-made black box.
Officers pulled footage from a public safety camera, likely the one located at 3450 Wilcox Blvd., and spotted the suspected getaway vehicle – a black 2009 Mazda 6 – driven by a third person, later identified as Kealey Green, 22, court records show.
Within about two hours, police found a vehicle in the 1000 block of Crutchfield Street matching the one captured by the camera, court records state.
Police knocked on the door of the residence and were given permission to search the premises. That’s where they found the suspects, according to court records.
