New video shows the moment an undercover deputy was robbed at gunpoint at a mall in Florida Monday afternoon.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, an undercover team was set up at Westfield Brandon Mall to buy firearms from two people. During the transaction, police said one of the gun dealers pulled out a weapon and robbed the undercover detective in the car. As other deputies moved in, both suspects ran off and one of them shot at the deputies.
Law enforcement did not return fire and no one was injured in the shooting, the sheriff’s office said.
Authorities said they’ve arrested 19-year-old Jordan Gracia in connection with the incident — on charges of armed robbery, felon in possession of a firearm, and dealing in stolen property. Gracia, who has previous arrests for armed burglary, juvenile in possession of a firearm, resisting arrest, and carrying a concealed firearm, could face more charges.
Police also identified the second suspect as 19-year-old Jaycob Riley, however he remains at large at the time of this report.
Riley is wanted on multiple charges including armed robbery, attempted murder on a law enforcement officer (x5), and felon in possession of a firearm, according to the HCSO.
