Angry Customer Shoots Gun At Dover Dollar General Store

DOVER, FL -- A man upset over not being able to make a cash return at a Dollar General in Dover took his revenge by shooting at the storefront and a store employee on Monday, July 30.

At 4:01 p.m., a customer walked into the Dollar General Store at 14715 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Dover, and demanded a refund for previously purchased merchandise.

The store employee at the register refused to give him a refund in cash, and the man became belligerent. The employee asked him to leave the store and followed him outside. But, before driving off, the angry customer fired two shots at the employee and the storefront.

One bullet struck the aluminum overhanging above the store's automatic doors. The employee was not hit.

The man sped off from the scene in a red Toyota Corolla.

According to a witness, the man is black, about 25 years old and between 5 feet and 5 feet 4 inches tall. He has a full beard, short haircut and he was last seen wearing a tan bandanna, white Nike T-shirt and gray baggy shorts.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at (813) 247-8200.
