'Don't Buck, Don't Buck. Go Ahead And Give It Up.'

An Edgewood man told Atlanta police he was robbed and beaten at gunpoint Tuesday night outside his home by two assailants who later fled in a car.

The victim, 20, said he was talking on his mobile phone as he walked in the 1400 block of Hosea L. Williams Drive at 9:45 p.m. on May 24, when two men approached him.

One robber grabbed his right arm and shoved a gun into his side.

The gunman told him: "Don't buck, don't buck. Go ahead and give it up."

The victim told police he wrestled with the gunman and as they tussled on the ground, the other robber began kicking the victim in the head, knocking him out.

When he regained consciousness, the victim said he saw the robbers running away.

Meanwhile, a passing motorist flagged the officer responding to the scene to report seeing three men — one of them armed with a gun — in black Ford Explorer on Whitefoord Avenue and Montgomery Street.

Two of the men in the vehicle fled by the time police arrived.

The third man, Calvin Vernoski Weaver, told police he was just hitching a ride to the store and that he only knew them from playing the Madden Football video game at one robber's house.

Asked for the suspects' names, Weaver said he only knew the driver's nickname, "L'il E."

Police, who found a .38 revolver and four 38 rounds of ammunition, had the Explorer towed.

The victim, who had had lacerations to the head, was treated by DeKalb County emergency medical personnel at the scene.
