Police Nab Three Gunmen in Robbery at Tin Lizzy's Parking Lot

GRANT PARK — Quick teamwork and a good old-fashioned foot chase led Atlanta police to nab and arrest three men who robbed a couple in the early morning hours on May 4 as they left the Memorial Drive Tin Lizzy's restaurant.

Arrested in the robbery are:

• Taveon X. Marshall: 17
• Shamarel D. Perdue: 18
• Donshelby S. Jones: 18

All three are charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, aggravated assault and armed robbery. They were taken to the Fulton County Jail.

The victims — one a restaurant employee whose shift had ended and the other, his boyfriend — told police they were headed to their car in the adjacent parking lot at Memorial Drive and Oakland Avenue when the three men accosted them at gunpoint.

Two of the gunmen approached on foot, the third on a red bicycle, in the 1:28 a.m. Saturday robbery.

All three men had guns, the victims, 21 and 22, said.

They stole the victims' car keys, house keys, mobile phone, wallets and cigarettes. They also took the Tin Lizzy's employee's pay stub and his tips.

After the robbery robbery, the gunmen ran.

The victims called police who began searching the area and caught Perdue, who attempted pedal away from officers. They quickly caught Jones, too.

An officer spotted Marshall several minutes later and had to chase him down by foot.

The victims identified the three men as their assailants.
