According to police, the victim said he was making a delivery for Vasilio’s, and encountered a male waiting outside next to a vehicle, who said he had ordered the food. 

The driver said when he went to put the food on the trunk of the customer’s car, that one man emerged from a house — and another from behind a trash can — and approached him.

One of the men brandished a gun, according to the driver, who said the suspect then stuck it against his back. 

The driver said the three men got into his delivery vehicle and drove away. 

Detectives are currently investigating.
