The delivery driver said that he was in the middle of delivering three medium pizzas, one side item, and six ranch dressings for a total of $82.15. The driver reported that when he arrived to deliver the pizzas there were three suspects that approached him and said, "I think you should give that to us."

The delivery driver reports that two of the suspects stood to the side of the driver while one man who was later identified as 18-year-old Kashys Herrin of Longview approached him and pulled out a handgun. The driver told the robbers that "he wasn't going to die over pizza," then handed over the three pizzas.

At that point the three suspects walked away, and the delivery driver returned to his vehicle to call law enforcement.
