Shaun Tiyahri Key, 20, was arrested without incident Monday morning following an investigation into an armed robbery that occurred on October 27th. Deputies responded to Wilderness Trace and spoke with the victim who stated he was forced into a green 4-door sedan with chrome rims. The vehicle was initially thought to be a Chevy Malibu, but later identified as an Impala. The victim said he was robbed at gunpoint of his money and jewelry. Both the victim and witnesses in the area told deputies the suspects fired several shots before leaving the area.

The initial investigation identified just two suspects, but later revealed a third party was involved. Key was that third party and a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was arrested and booked into the Walton County Jail for armed robbery and grand theft.

Walton County Sheriff’s Office is still seeking information on the whereabouts of Lucas Lorenzo Williams, 31, of Pensacola. If located DO NOT approach and call your local law enforcement agency.
