Police said the woman just recently met the man, only known as “Junior.”
The man allegedly asked to borrow $200 and she agreed to loan it to him. He apparently knew she had recently cashed her tax refund. When he knocked on the door, video shows him walking into the woman’s hotel. She told investigators Junior pulled out a handgun and demanded all of her refund instead.
The suspect can be seen leaving out the hotel after taking her money, and then turned around and fired several shots towards her door.
The suspect then fled the area with her money, police said.
