Information obtained from the victim indicates that the suspect first went to the victim's condo and kicked in his front door. The victim does not know the suspect. The victim then chased the suspect from the scene over the AMPM minimarket where the two men fought one another. The suspect fougth with the victim who stands 6-3 and weighs 350 pounds.
