A 33-year-old man who said he was broke when an armed robber confronted him was shot in the chest early Monday, police said.
The shooting happened just after midnight in the 600 block of Laskin Road, near the Oceanfront. Police spokesman Lou Thurston said John J. Larimer, of the 500 block of Willray Court, was walking with a woman when a man with a handgun demanded Larimer's wallet.
After the shooting, the suspect - described as a short, slender Hispanic or light-skinned black male in his late teens or early 20s - left in a white car, possibly a Pontiac Grand Am.
Anyone with information is asked to call 427-0000.
