Video Shows Couple Robbed at Gunpoint in Aventura Mall Parking Garage

Police still looking for gunman in October 23 robbery

Police are hoping new surveillance footage will help them find a suspect who robbed a couple at gunpoint at Aventura Mall last month.

The footage from the Oct. 23 incident shows a couple leaving a mall as the man who robbed them follows close behind as they exit to the parking garage.

According to an incident report, the suspect tapped the man on the shoulder, pointed a handgun in his face and said "give me all of your jewelry or I'll kill you."

The man said he tried to grab the gun from the suspect which caused the magazine to fall out and onto the floor, but the suspect was able to pick up the magazine and put it back into the handgun, the report said.

The man's wife started screaming and begging her husband not to fight back, so he handed over his $9,000 gold Cuban link bracelet, the report said.
