KPD Investigating Gay Street Robbery

On Thursday, June 3, 2021 at around 9:20 p.m., Knoxville Police Department officers responded to a robbery at 112 Gay Street. Upon arrival, officers met with the victim, a 23-year-old female, who reported that she was robbed at gunpoint. The victim stated that as she entered the Fire Street Alley, she was grabbed by an unknown suspect, who allegedly threw her up against the wall and pointed a gun at her. The victim stated there were a total of three suspects involved in the robbery, and the suspects fled out of the alley with her purse. The victim was not injured during the robbery.

One of the suspects was described as a male wearing a green ski mask and cream or khaki colored shirt and pants, while the other two suspects were only described as wearing black ski masks. The suspects possibly fled the scene in a newer-model black Nissan Versa.
