A woman dared a potential thief to shoot her in South of South last week.

At 8:25 p.m. Feb. 25, the complainant was walking on the 900 block of South 22nd Street after crossing Montrose Street when a male, armed with a small silver handgun she noted could have been a revolver, approached her and demanded her cell phone and wallet, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When she refused, the offender informed her he planned to shoot her, with the woman daring him to do so. The male fled on foot, with the complainant catching sight of him heading east on League Street.

She described him as black, 13 to 14 years old and 5-foot-1 to 5-foot-2; having a light to medium complexion, a slim build and a cleft chin; and wearing a black hoodie, black jeans and black sneakers.
