Police say the would-be robber walked up to the wold-be victim Saturday morning just after 5:00 a.m. in the 1900 block of Burgundy Street and demanded money. The video shows the robber pointing a shotgun at the victim's face at close range.
the victim was approached moments later by two black males in a black four door sedan. The victim told police that the driver of the car said, "give me my gun back and I’ll give you your phone that you dropped."
