Police searching for robber who shot victim after stealing $3

Metro police are searching for a gunman who stole $3 from a man outside a north Nashville area market, then shot him in the legs when the victim tried to run away.The victim, Jeff Macadoo, 20, was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries after the 8:40 p.m. shooting, Metro police said.

Police said Macadoo was shot while standing outside the AA Market, located at 2700 Whites Creek Pike, Metro police spokeswoman Kristin Mumford said.

A gray-colored compact 4-door car pulled up, and a passenger got out with a handgun and stole Macadoo’s $3, Mumford said.

“As Macadoo ran, the suspect shot him in his lower legs,” Mumford said.

The suspect was described as a black man, between 20-25 years old, wearing a white T-shirt, a dark baseball cap, and denim shorts.

The perp must not have been hugged enough as a child.

yah, but I'd like to give him that warm feeling....of his own body fluids leaking down his torso.

Shot for 3 bucks... Another good reason to always carry...

I dont think there is a good dollar amount to justify a shooting. I'm not saying you think there is. The 3 dollars makes it even more senseless. Reminds me of the shooting in Madison with the 2 Egyptian store clerks, killed for virtually no reason at all.

Your right, there have been too many people shot because they had nothing on them to steal.

I am just amazed how pathetic criminals are. For some reason I am still surprised people can be so worthless.

That would have been 1 of his worst $3 mistakes to date!!!

It is a canard. People ask me "would you shoot someone over $15?" The answer is, it is irrelevant how much money I have. If someone is threatening me, for whatever reason, I am going to shoot him if justified.

FBI stats (if I recall correctly) are that even where the victim complies fully he will still get shot/killed about 45% of the time.

How many times have you come out/gone in a gas station while a car was pulling up? How much time would you really have to realize that the person getting out of the vehicle has a gun? Would you really have time to draw your own before the perp already had his gun trained on you?

If it happened that fast, I doubt that I would have time to react.

Thats why the idea of a small pocket pistol is looking good. Blow a hole in your own jacket if you have too.

That's why God created the Seecamp .380

And scandium J frames.

Just a thought... the victim wasn't shot for the $3.00, the assailant got that already.

He was shot for a sick sense of fun and outright malice.

Excellent point.

Anyone got an official link to this statistic?

[Guest Disney]

I hate to stereotype but.... Come on!! The guy was wearing JORTS!! Can we really trust anyone in these?

[Guest CrazyLincoln]

Technically the assailants netted somewhere around 2.75 when you figure the cost of ammo.

[Guest Jason]

You won't have time to react after the confrontation starts, you have to be aware of the situation before hand. Sure it's being paranoid, but is it being paranoid enough?

[Guest GlocKingTN]

I'm gonna agree with the Rabbi on his statistic statement. IMHO, most of time if the perp pulls the weapon, whether its a gun, knife, sword, whatever-he intends on using it. That is, if you cant make it to yours first!
