He was shot in the back as he opened P&P garden store on Saturday July 3rd. Just three hours after he was shot, surveillance video captured two men using Phelps' credit card to buy thousands of dollars worth of clothes.
APD charged 17-year-old Ryan Richardson and 22-year-old Roderick Ferrell with armed robbery and aggravated assault.
