A jewelry shop owner was pistol-whipped and brutally beaten during an armed robbery in Wilmington, Delaware.
On the morning of Sept. 15, Calvin Ushery, 39, was captured interacting with the 68-year-old Korean American entrepreneur on surveillance footage inside the jewelry store located on the 100 block of West 9th Street.
In the video, Ushery can be seen pulling out a gun and grabbing the owner before pistol-whipping him in the head. The 68-year-old then falls to the ground as the suspect jumps over the display case and goes on to stomp on the man’s head. The suspect then proceeds to go through display cases and steal jewelry before fleeing the scene.
According to reports, the man was also repeatedly hit in the head with a hammer by the suspect.
The store owner suffered from internal head bleeding and a severe concussion, according to his son Steve Suh. He spent four days in the ICU before he was taken to a rehabilitation facility.
Ushery was arrested on Sept. 22 and charged with robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by a person prohibited and criminal mischief under $5,000.
He was reportedly arraigned in Justice of the Peace Court 11 and is being held at the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on a $130,500 cash-only bail.
Suh estimates that the total value of the jewelry stolen was around $100,000. He has since set up a GoFundMe page to help raise money for his father’s medical bills.
