Police say 22-year-old Accorie Wilder-Mack of Turtle Creek was at the restaurant on March 12th, when he was kicked out for causing a disturbance.

He allegedly knocked on the building's emergency door, where an employee met him.

Wilder-Mack is accused of luring the employee to a parked car, showing him a gun and robbing him. As the victim ran from the car, a person with Wilder-Mack allegedly shot him in the leg. The staff treated the victim’s injuries and then he was transported to a hospital.

Officials interviewed Wilder-Mack’s girlfriend and became suspicious by her statements.

They searched her apartment and he was not inside, but ended up finding him in an adjacent, unoccupied apartment that appeared to be under construction.

He is facing charges of aggravated assault, robbery, criminal conspiracy, carrying a firearm without a license, theft by unlawful taking, simple assault and defiant trespassing.
