Dallas Police Gang Unit Arrests Suspect in Violent Robbery of 92-Year-Old Woman in Tulsa

The Dallas Police Gang Unit has arrested Karmello Shannon, a suspect wanted for the violent robbery of a 92-year-old woman at a Tulsa mall last November.

Shannon allegedly attacked the elderly woman at a Bitcoin ATM, throwing her to the ground and causing severe injuries, including a broken arm, a fractured eye socket, and requiring 14 stitches.

Detectives from the Tulsa Police Robbery unit collaborated with the Mingo Valley Street Crimes Unit to track down Shannon, using intelligence and partnerships across various jurisdictions. Initially believed to be in the Oklahoma City area, they worked with the Oklahoma City Police to locate him.

Recently, a Flock camera system in Dallas identified a vehicle associated with Shannon, prompting the Tulsa Police to notify the Dallas Police Gang Unit, which led to his arrest.

Shannon’s girlfriend, Markena Davis, was also arrested for assisting a fugitive, as investigators allege that she provided financial support and transportation to Shannon during his time on the run.

Both Shannon and Davis face charges, but it’s important to note that these are arrests, not convictions, and the investigation remains ongoing.
