The man who said he was robbed reported he planned the sale of sneakers through an app. Once he showed up at the shopping center, he was met by two men who paid with counterfeit cash, police said.
The seller confronted the men about being paid with counterfeit cash and one of the buyers displayed a handgun before fleeing the area, police said.
The first suspect was described by police as a slim, 5-foot-8 black male in his 20s with short hair, some facial hair, glasses, and a black and red hoodie. The second suspect was a thin 5-foot-8 black male in his late 20s with short hair and a gap in his teeth.
