The victim told Decaturish she was with her daughter in the parking lot of an apartment complex across from Publix when the incident occurred.

“Basically, we pulled in, we saw a guy, my daughter got out to go to the call box to have [a relative] buzz her in,” the victim said. “Mind you, this complex has had many issues. There’ve been many issues.”

Her daughter saw the man approaching and decided not to open the gate. She opened the passenger door, and the suspect went around to the driver’s side, gun drawn. The woman grabbed her daughter and ran. The suspect drove away with the passenger door still open. The woman later retrieved her phone, which was found after it was discarded.
