An elderly man was shot during a robbery attempt, after pulling into his driveway on Allen Street Thursday, May 5. 

At about 11:50 p.m., the 72-year-old victim exited his vehicle. Three male suspects wearing ski masks exited what was believed to be a black vehicle and shouted at the victim, "Give it up," as they approached him.

As the victim ran toward his house to escape, one or more of the suspects fired multiple times. The shots struck the victim, who is now hospitalized.    

Crime Stoppers of Tampa Bay is offering a reward of up to $3,000 for information that leads to the identification and arrest of the unknown suspects in this case. Anyone with any information regarding the identity of the suspect and who wants to be eligible for a cash reward is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS (8477), report anonymously online at CrimeStoppersTB.com or send a mobile tip using the P3 Tips Mobile application, which is a free download for iPhones and Droids.  Crime Stoppers must be contacted first in order to be eligible for a cash reward.
