Welcome to Most Wanted -- New Times' weekly post featuring scofflaws, including suspects in robberies, homicides and assault cases, sex offenders who've absconded, and even "dead beat" parents who aren't shelling out court-ordered child support.
Suspects featured here are presumed innocent -- until a judge or jury says otherwise. Check out some of the Valley's Most Wanted:
Two-Timing Robbery Suspect
On Saturday, August 17, 2013 at approximately 10:05 pm the suspect entered the AM/PM store at 2230 W. Indian School Road in Phoenix and removed items from the shelf and walked out without paying for the items. The suspect fled the area in a white four-door sedan.
Not a big deal?
Well, later, that same night, at about 10:45 p.m., the suspect returned to the store -- this time with a gun in his hand. He walked directly to the counter and demanded money and cigarettes from the clerk.
He got the goods and then shot the clerk in the leg. He again fled in the white four-door sedan. The clerk was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

On August 5, at about 4:30 a.m., two men armed with knives approached a 23-year-old man as he was entering his apartment at 2323 W. Dunlap Avenue. They forced him inside his apartment, robbed him of various electronic items and his bank debit card.
The two men, described as white males, about 5-foot-8 with a medium build, forced him to reveal the PIN number to his ATM card and then left.
