A caller stated one of the drivers of the collision advised he was just robbed at gunpoint then shot at by the other vehicle. Once officers arrived on scene, they found the accident was in fact a roll over and found a 20 year old male still in the driver’s seat of his vehicle. He advised that his two passengers had fled the accident but one of the males in back seat that fled did fire a handgun. It was determined that he drove his vehicle to Straw Hat Pizza to pick up some marijuana with two male passengers. During the purchase, his two passengers robbed the victim at gunpoint of his wallet, cell phone, watch, and marijuana. The two passengers got back in the car and told him to drive.
