The complaint indicates a Door Dash driver had a food order to pick up at the Shake Shack. She parked her car outside the restaurant and had her three children with her -- who asked to use the restroom. The driver turned off her car and walked into the Shake Shack to ask if her children could use the restroom. At that same time, "the staff told her that someone was taking something out of her car." The complaint says the driver saw the suspect running from her car and "getting into a silver car stopped at the intersection." When the driver went back out to her car, she located an iPhone, and her daughter "told her that the suspect got into the front driver's seat, looked back and said, 'Oh (expletive)' when he noticed the children," the complaint says.

The Door Dash driver went back into the restaurant. The complaint says the phone she found "was ringing repeatedly." At that time, she noticed the suspect walked up to the Door Dash driver, demanded his phone, reached into her pocket and recovered the phone and then "tried lifting her up to slam her to the ground," the complaint says. A man then identified himself as police, grabbed the suspect off of her and was attempting to wrestle the suspect to the ground and got him to the ground. The Door Dash driver stated "she saw the suspect reaching for his waistband and that the store employees were yelling for her to get behind the counter. She "started running and heard two gunshots and then a brief pause, then three additional shots," the complaint says. The officer had been shot.
The detective suffered four gunshot wounds but is expected to survive.
