A 36-year-old man was shot and killed Tuesday night while he was
attempting to rob an elderly couple outside a Northwest Dallas grocery
store, police say. The man, identified by police as 36-year-old Mike Angel
Carmillio, approached a man and a
woman as they walked out of a grocery store and snatched a gold
necklace from the woman’s neck, police said. The incident occurred
around 7:15 p.m. at the Aldi in the 3000 block of Forest Lane near Webb
Chapel Road.
The man knocked the woman to the ground and tried to rob her. The
woman’s husband, 71-year-old Ronnie Lummus, pulled out a handgun and
fired several shots at the man as he was attempting to flee in his car.
The man got in his car but died before fleeing, police said.
Detectives interviewed Lummus, his wife and witnesses. Lummus has a
valid concealed handgun license. He told officers that he was afraid the
man would harm him or his wife during the robbery, police said.
Lummus has not been charged with a crime. The case will be referred to a grand jury.
