Police say Totton, along with D’Angelo Williams, 20, of the 700 block of Liberty, entered the store, located in the 2000 block of S. Eola Rd., at around 11:30 p.m. Feb. 12. Both men had their faces concealed and at least one of them was brandishing a firearm. The clerk was beaten and money and cigarettes were stolen.

Upon fleeing from the store, the men encountered a customer who had just entered just the store. One offender threatened the customer with the gun and the other struck him.

Williams was taken into custody March 4.

“These arrests are a direct result of the Aurora Police Investigative Bureau’s dedication and tireless efforts to provide justice for the victims of this offense,” Aurora Police Chief Kristen Ziman said. “It is hoped that such arrests sends a loud and clear message to offenders that our investigations do not have dates. No matter how old, we will put forth every effort to bringing judicious solutions to these violent crimes."
