On May 14, officers with the Galveston Police Department were dispatched to a Bank of America parking lot the 6100 block of Central City Boulevard for a reported aggravated robbery. The suspect used a black handgun and got into a struggle with one of the robbery victims.

The suspect fired a shot into the front passenger door of the victim's vehicle. A victim reported minor injuries from glass breakage, but wasn't otherwise hurt. The suspect fled the scene with the victim's cell phone.
