Pizza delivery man robbed at gunpoint
Two men robbed a pizza delivery man late last Saturday after he finished a delivery to Briarlake Court home, DeKalb County police said.

The Domino's Pizza delivery man had just finished making a delivery to a home in the 1000 block of Briarlake Court and was walking to his car when the first suspect approached and asked for the Domino's store phone number at about 11:20pm, the police report said.

The number was posted on the marquis on top of his car, so the delivery man ignored the question and sat in his car. The suspect approached the car from the rear and pulled out a large, silver revolver and demanded money from the driver. The victim, who was talking on the phone, immediately grabbed the suspect's gun and told him he was not going to be robbed.

But a second suspect approached from the rear and told the driver to let go or he would kill him. The victim pulled $17 from his pocket, handed it to the suspect and then opened his wallet to show he didn't have more, the report said. The first suspect took the victim's cell phone, threatened to kill the driver again and then both left on foot.

The first suspect was described as a black male between 19 and 20 years old, about 6 feet 1 inches tall with a lean build and clean cut with a wave in his hair. He had no facial hair and wore a red decorative scarf, a red button-down shirt and dark pants. The second suspect was described as a black male, about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a medium build and clean cut with "low hair," the report said. He had no facial hair and wore a black button-down shirt and dark pants.
