Thursday’s robbery occurred just before midnight at the 7-Eleven located in the 3400 block of Commander Shepard Boulevard. Police say the suspect, in this case, implied he had a gun and demanded money. Once he got the cash, he fled on foot.
The same store was robbed Sunday morning under similar circumstances. Police released an image and suspect description in that case, which closely matched the description in the most recent crime.
Investigators determined the cases were connected and arrested Fortune for both.
