A University of Georgia student was robbed, kidnapped and shot in east Athens Thursday night after he attempted to make a delivery for Papa John's Pizza, Athens-Clarke County police said.

The suspects had already gotten what they wanted, having robbed the student of a pizza and cash, when they shot at him anyway and blindly, while the student was inside the closed trunk of his own car. Luckily, according to police, the bullets missed the student's head and vital organs, and the 19-year-old student suffered non-life threatening gunshot wounds to his arm and lower abdomen.

Police said they learned of the incident at about 7:50 p.m., when a woman called 911 to report finding the injured student on Trail Creek Street.

The student was covered with blood and, apparently in shock from having been kidnapped and nearly killed, did not tell police he had been shot. According to police, the student said he was beaten by two males with baseball bats.

Police said that from speaking with the student and other employees at Papa John's Pizza, they determined the student had set out to make a delivery to 891 Branch St. that was phoned into one of the pizza chain's Athens franchises.

While looking for the address, the student was approached by two male suspects who were said to both be armed with handguns and robbed the student of the pizza he was attempting to deliver, about $80 cash, and a cellphone.

The student was also physically assaulted, but police were unclear about the specifics, as the student was in shock when detectives attempted to interview him, but it would appear there was some kind of physical altercation on Branch Street prior to the suspects forcing the victim into the trunk of his car, according to police.

The next thing the victim was able to tell police was that after the suspects drove him inside the trunk of his car to Trail Creek Street, he was able to let himself out by using the trunk's release mechanism.

A woman who was driving through the area was flagged down by the victim, who called 911 to report the student had been robbed and bleeding, police said.

When officers arrived, they found the student sitting in his car, his shirt covered in blood, and saying that he was beaten and robbed by two males with baseball bats.

The student was in extreme pain and incoherent - possibly in shock - and apparently not aware he was shot, police said.

It wasn't until an officer cut open the student's shirt that one gunshot wound to his arm was identified. According to police, additional injuries caused by at least one other gunshot, were later located in the student's torso.

The only descriptions of the suspects the victim was able to provide were that they were black males in their late 20s who had short hair and wore dark clothing.

Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 to anyone who can help identify the suspects.
