A Dayton Family Dollar employee said a man entered the business Friday evening, pointed a gun to his head and ordered him to the ground before robbing the business.

The incident happened around 8:30 p.m. at the store at 3237 W. Siebenthaler Ave. Witnesses described the suspect as a black male wearing a black Carhartt jacket, with a black knit hat and a partial ski mask over his face. He was wearing dark pants and showed what was described as a large semi-automatic gun.

According to a Dayton police report, the man ordered an employee to open a register. While at the register, another employee fled the store and ducked inside a nearby business to call police.

Inside the Family Dollar the suspect said, “I’m a View boy Blood gang,” according to the report. No one was hurt in the incident and it was unclear how much money had been stolen at the time police filed their report.

A K-9 unit responded to the scene but was unsuccessful in tracking the scent.
