A man suspected of robbing a Dollar General in Bearden and shooting an employee in the head Sunday night surrendered to authorities Monday morning.
Kobe Juwan Miller, 21, faces charges of commercial burglary, aggravated robbery and criminal intent to commit capital murder, Bearden Police Chief Nathan Greeley said.
The Ouachita County sheriff's office received a 911 phone call around 9:50 p.m. reporting an armed robbery at the Dollar General at 562 W. Jordan Ave.
Officers from several law enforcement agencies responded, and they found two employees injured. Greeley said Miller was spotted at an apartment complex near the store, but he ran from authorities.
One employee suffered a gunshot wound in the head and had to be airlifted to UAMS Medical Center in Little Rock.
