Arrests made after a shooting in an Evansville apartment leaves one injured

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) — An Evansville couple is in custody after police say they were part of an armed robbery at Schnute Towers which left one victim shot in the chest and abdomen.

According to police records, Jessica Robb and DeShawn Greenwell were arrested after playing a role in an alleged armed robbery around 5:46 p.m. Saturday night, which led to the victim being shot twice.

During questioning at the hospital, the victim’s son says his father sells marijuana from the apartment. The victim’s son says as soon as Robb was allowed inside, two male suspects stormed in with firearms, struck his father in the head with the firearm and demanded he hand over his “weed and money.” The victim says he thought the firearms were fake and reached over for a pellet gun, which eventually led to him being shot twice.

The two other suspects in the alleged robbery have yet to be identified.

When police questioned Robb, she admitted to the armed robbery plan. She says she was familiar with the victim and that her trust was used to gain access to the apartment. It is said the other two suspects had firearms with them. When being asked what her cut of the robbery would be, she claims she was not going to get anything out of it.

While questioning Greenwell, police say the other two suspects “had a play” which ended up being the robbery. They say the victim was targeted since they have bought weed from him in the past. Upon arriving at the apartment complex, Greenwell says he could not go through with the plan.

Authorities say surveillance video was pulled showing all 4 suspects at the apartment complex. On the victim’s floor, the video shows Greenwell was no longer with the group. The other two male suspects are shown storming into the victim’s apartment just seconds after Robb was allowed inside.

The video shows the three suspects running out of the apartment approximately 20 seconds after they allegedly stormed in.

Jessica Robb was charged with Attempted Murder, Armed Robbery with a Deadly Weapon, Robbery resulting in Serious Bodily Injury, Aggravated Battery and Possession of Methamphetamine.

DeShawn Greenwell was charged with Conspiracy to Commit Armed Robbery.

Both have been booked in the Vanderburgh County Jail.

This is an ongoing investigation.
