A would-be robber was shot dead by a person with a
concealed handgun license outside a Metro PCS store in the 7400 block of
Wichita St. in Ft. Worth on Tuesday afternoon.
Investigators say Desmond Paige, 20, tried to rob a man using
Craigslist. The would-be victim brought his gun to the sale just in
case.
The man with the CHL was shot in the arm and the hand by the robber, but Paige was shot multiple times in the chest.
Paige died at the scene.
"When I got over to him I saw that he was bleeding out of his mouth
and his chest. So I kneeled down next to him just to say you know hey
I'm here you know, hold on. The ambulance and police are coming," said
one witness.
Paige claimed on Cragslist he had a cell phone to sell. Police said
when Paige tried to rob the man, the man pulled his gun and shot Paige
several times.
Paige was recently released from prison after serving time for a violent crime and was on parole.
