Mobile Police have arrested the man wanted in connection with a robbery and shooting at a Family Dollar earlier this week.

Nineteen-year-old Tavoris Moss is charged with two counts of first degree robbery. Authorities say Moss and another man robbed the Family Dollar located on Stanton Road.

That other suspect, police say, was shot multiple times by a customer inside the store. He was taken to USA Medical Center and will be charged upon release.
