Single shot fired inside Town East Mall during theft
By Kenny Green, kgreen@acnpapers.com
A single shot from a handgun rang out inside Town East Mall Friday afternoon at approximately 4:43 p.m. The owner of Classique Jewelers, Louis Fuentes, fired the shot from his handgun at a fleeing suspect. The subject entered the business and selected a 2.5 ct. diamond ring valued at $10,000. The store owner was showing the ring when the subject grabbed it from his hand and fled the store.
The bullet fired from the gun ricocheted off some shelving inside the JCPenney department store and came to rest fully intact on the carpet near a rack of men’s sweaters. No one was injured and there was only minor damage to property.
The police have arrested Fuentes and charged him with deadly conduct.
Police spokesman Lt. Yates said that in his fifteen years on the Mesquite Police Department he could not remember an incident like this happening at the mall.
Anyone with information on the theft, shooting or suspect is asked to call the Mesquite Police Department at 972-329-8785.
