According to court records, a clerk at the 7-Eleven at 10615 Blue Ridge Blvd. said two men, one later identified as Strozier, entered the store and took a 12-pack of beer after one of them pulled a gun.
Later, police officers in the area, responding to a call of shots fired, saw the two men near 108th and Sycamore. Officers found a loaded 9 mm handgun on Strozier.
