Two males crafted an unforgettable stop for a deliveryman in Grays Ferry last week.
At approximately 11:30 p.m. May 7, the Southside Pizza employee, looking to bring food to the 2700 block of Earp Street, called the phone number on the order to state he was near, with a male voice replying he would be right there, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When the driver knocked at the door of the residence, the occupant stated she had not ordered anything.
Returning to his vehicle, he called the number again and as the phone rang, he looked up to observe a black male wearing a dark hoodie. He stated “That’s my order,” and the two became involved in a dispute over the price, Tolliver said. A second male, wearing a ski mask, approached from the opposite direction and pointed a small brown gun at him, soon after striking his head with it. The victim said two unknown observers exited from a residence on the block, leading the figures to flee on foot without taking anything. He described the first as black, 5-foot-6, 15 to 17 years old; having a stocky build and a light complexion; being clean-shaven and wearing a black hoodie and black pants. He tabbed the second as black, 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10; having a thin build; and wearing a black ski mask, a white T-shirt and beige pants.
