Police in Madison County are looking for a man they say shot a woman during a robbery last month.
The robbery happened May 23 at an apartment on Foxhaven Drive in Richmond. Richmond police say Tyler “T-Mac” Mack, 32, and Ariana Meriwether, 25, forced their way into the apartment and assaulted three people.
Meriwether assaulted one of the victims, causing severe bruising, black eyes and swelling to the head and neck, according to court documents. The victim was taken to a local emergency room in a neck brace.
Mack took the other two people, a man and a woman, upstairs at gunpoint and assaulted the woman after locking the man in a closet. According to court documents, Mack repeatedly yelled “where’s my money” and “give me my money” while pistol-whipping the woman.
The woman convinced Mack to go outside to her car, and she tried to run away. According to court documents, Mack fired six shots at the woman, one of which grazed her arm.
Police described the woman’s injuries as non-life-threatening.
Mack and Meriwether fled the scene after the shooting. Meriwether left a bedazzled sandal, vape cartridge and a cellphone behind at the scene, which is how police identified her as a suspect.
Detectives went to a home belonging to Meriwether’s mother in an attempt to find her. The mother told a detective her daughter never comes to her home, but the detective saw Meriwether in another room while speaking to her mother.
The detectives stayed near the home and applied for a search warrant, but before the warrant was signed, Meriwether walked out of the home and turned herself in, according to court documents. She had injuries to her knuckles that were consistent with the assault and refused to speak with the detectives.
Meriwether is charged with attempted murder, first-degree attempted robbery, first-degree burglary, second-degree assault and two counts of kidnapping, according to court records. She is being held at the Madison County Detention Center on a $250,000 bond.
Mack remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous, according to police. He is wanted for attempted murder, first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, first-degree wanton endangerment, kidnapping and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
Mack has dreadlocks, facial hair and several tattoos on his hands, arms, neck, and chest, according to police. He also has a distinctive cross tattoo on his forehead.
Anyone that spots Mack or has information about his whereabouts should call 911 or dispatch at 859-624-4776.
