MEMPHIS, Tenn. — It’s a night Eugene Rose and his wife will never forget, his wife screaming after a group of teens with guns pulled open their car doors and tried to rob them at gunpoint in Raleigh.
It was all caught on camera back in March.
The frightening story we saw play out here sounds a lot like the one outlined in a police document. Officers said Erica Lee lured a couple to Fernleaf Avenue in Raleigh to buy a pickup truck, but they were robbed by a group of teens.
Rose said it’s the exact same thing that happened to he and his wife.
“We got to give credit to police, they followed up, caught several of them,” said Rose.
Several teens fired rounds of gunshots, hitting their car and stealing the thousands of dollars they brought to buy the pickup truck.
According to police documents, Craigslist led officers to Lee’s phone number and email address and then her home on Fox Leigh Drive in Oakhaven.
Standing in front of his new truck, Rose said this all gives him and his wife some much needed closure but said we all need to be better role models to youth than Lee.
