A 911 caller reported that her friend had been robbed at gunpoint in the area. Officers quickly located three teenage suspects—18-year-old Amari Lloyd, 17-year-old Cameron Watkins, and 17-year-old Zaccari Allen—carrying firearms, including one stolen weapon.
Upon police arrival, two suspects complied with commands, while the third fled on foot. A chase involving officers on foot and horseback led to the suspect’s quick capture.
