JUNE 30TH, 1998 - Two officers injured, one suspect killed in an armed robbery shooting early Tuesday morning. At approximately 12:40 am EST on June 30th, 1998, members of the service responded to reports of an armed robbery in progress at the Oriental Store on Dukes Boulevard. There, it was reported that one male was brandishing a firearm and had discharged the weapon inside the store. The suspect, identified as Ferris Baxter, attempted to elude law enforcement following his rushed exit from the building. After crashing out on Oneida Avenue, the suspect took shelter inside of the Internet Cafe, firing upon officers.
