Summary

  • Phoenix police arrested 33-year-old Keondre Simmons after he allegedly came back to the Kierland Commons Shake Shack in uniform two days after robbing it.
  • Court documents say Simmons called out around midnight on Aug. 3, then later entered through a rear delivery door, held two co-workers at gunpoint and forced the manager to hand over about $2,800 from the safe.
  • The suspect locked both workers in a walk-in cooler, returned after they escaped, made them kneel in the office and destroyed their cellphones and the store landline in a sink of water before fleeing.
  • Investigators later identified Simmons, who allegedly told them he discarded the clothes worn in the robbery and that a firearm was inside his residence.
  • Simmons faces armed robbery, aggravated assault and kidnapping charges, with a court appearance scheduled for Aug. 25.
