A couple months ago I was robbed and shot in the head on a pizza delivery. Thankfully it was only a graze above the eyebrow and caused no serious damage. Here is a quick summary of what happened:
I pull up to this apartment door and leave my headlights on. A girl who introduced herself as "Paris" comes outside and greets me and tells me her sister is on the way with the money. She flirts with me for a moment. (she's ugly I'm not excited, I just wanna go) After a couple minutes of her holding me up a guy comes from behind with a gun to my head and tells me "go in the apartment" I think quick and decide I'd probably die in there so I struggled with him. After a moments struggle he pulls the trigger empties my pockets and gets out of there. Blood is streaming down my face and I run to the closest gas station, because the guy took my keys.
The guy took my wallet, keys, and cell phone. I let the guy use my cell phone for three days in case he called a bunch of numbers; he called plenty of numbers! I called the detectives at my local police department to inform them of those numbers and I never heard back from them in two months. I thought it was a lost cause, was starting to disconnect from it, move on and not care if he got caught because I figured nothing could be done.
Then after those two months I receive a call from one of the numbers that he called. (I saved the numbers he called into my phone) A girl said "oh sorry I got the wrong number" I texted her saying "The guy who shot and robbed me called you from this phone. You're probably trying to reach him. Just wait for the next call from a stolen phone" I didn't expect a reply. Was more or less a bitter text message. She responded saying "OMG did they catch him?" So we had a few back and forth texts and it turns out that this is his ex girlfriend. I asked his name and she told me. I looked him up on facebook just to see if I could find him. The guy I found looks much like the guy that shot me. I looked on his friend to see if there happened to be a "Paris" (I figured she made up the name Paris) and there she is plain as day!
Okay so I wasn't going to call the cops again until she called and gave me his name. I figured this would be a great reason to call! I called the original detective who I talked to and he said it wasn't him I talked to two months ago "I can assure you it wasn't me" He was the only detective who I talked to. "Detective (let's call him Detective Banana) Banana is on your case. I'll forward this information to him." Well a few days passed and I received no calls from Detective Banana so I called Detective Banana and left him a message. Still no calls back.
So I have all the calls the guy made. His ex-girlfriend called me and told me his freaking name. I found a guy and girl on facebook who I'm 99% sure are the people who set me up and robbed me. If I didn't have any worthwhile information to give I wouldn't be bothering the detectives. Don't detectives like solving crimes? I have plenty of information to assist them in this one. He may not have killed me but he may kill someone in the future!
So who can I bring this to since the detectives won't talk to me?
