On 05/19/17, at 1729 hours, Devon Arthurs entered the Green Planet Smoke Shop, located at
15325 Amberly Dr, Tampa, FL 33647. The store was occupied by an employee / victim #1 and a
customer / victim #2. Devon Arthurs lifted up the back of his t-shirt and removed a black
semiautomatic pistol from his rear waistband. Victim #1 stated that Arthurs pointed a gun at her
and told her to get on the ground. Victim #2 stated that Arthur yelled, "Do me a favor and get the
fuck on the ground!" Both victims complied with the demand. Victim #2 also advised that Arthur
asked him, "Why shouldn't I kill you?" Arthurs made these demands and asked these questions
from a distance of no more than five feet from both victim #1 and #2. Both victim #1 and #2
were placed in fear for their life.
Approximately two to three minutes after Arthurs entered the Green Planet Smoke Shop, a
second customer / victim #3 enters the store. Arthurs orders victim #3 down to the ground but
does not threaten him with the firearm. Arthurs informed all three victims in the store that he had
already killed somebody. He further informed all three victims that he was upset due to America
Approximately five minutes after the third victim enters the smoke shop, two Tampa Police
Officers arrive on scene and confront Arthurs. It is at this point that victim #1 is able to stand up
and run out the back door of the business. The two responding officers convince Arthurs to let
the remaining victims leave the store. Arthurs acquiesces to the request made by officers and
allows victim #2 and #3 to leave the store. Both victims stand up and run towards and out the
back door.
After several more minutes of negotiating, Arthurs finally surrenders and allows officers to place
him in handcuffs. This entire interaction is documented via victim and officer statements, as well
as interior surveillance video located at the Green Planet Smoke Shop. The firearm was secured
scene; however, he directed g-Ners, -fOthe exact location, eventually pointing to the front door of
