0

Officers were dispatched to the area of 600 N Green River Rd (Plato’s Closet) at just after 7:00 pm on

9/2/2025 for a holdup in progress. Officers were informed that a black male was attempting to rob the store

while armed with a gun. Additional information stated the male fired one shot inside the store before fleeing. As

officers arrived, they received additional calls that the same subject had robbed the nearby Chuck E. Cheese.

The male subject also fired a shot inside the business.

Responding officers located a male subject matching the description nearby, but he fled from officers on

foot to a nearby apartment. Officers surrounded the apartment until one of the occupants, Dwon Collins, exited.

When asked who the male subject who fled was, Collins stated he did not know. A short time later the suspect,

identified as Raquavion Cooper, came outside and was taken into custody.

Through the investigation, it was determined Cooper was the suspect in both robberies. A firearm was

located and seized near the scene.

Dwon Collins was charged with Assisting a Criminal after it was learned that he lived at the apartment

with Cooper. Raquavion Cooper was charged with Robbery, Criminal Recklessness, Pointing a Loaded Firearm

and Resisting law enforcement
