MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Shelby County Sheriff's Office is investigating a robbery outside of Arlington on Sunday that may be linked to a previous shooting.

According to SCSO, on June 4, a man was robbed at gunpoint in a field at the 8600 block of Collierville-Arlington Road where two suspects took his cell phone and wallet.

Deputies say both suspects were described as black males wearing all black.

Luis Mireles said he was the person robbed in the Shelby County incident. WREG is speaking with him about it Wednesday.

Both suspects also carried a gun, but one of the suspects was wearing a black tactical vest with no Sheriff or Police markings, with a gold circle-shaped badge

The suspects left the scene in what appeared to be an early 2000s black, four-door Chevrolet Malibu, which had severe damage to the front windshield and dark tint on the windows, deputies say.

The Tipton County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting that is believed to have the same suspects.

If you know anything about this incident, you are urged to call CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH.
