Walgreens theft
The backstory:
The theft happened at Walgreens near 76th and Mill in March 2025. Prosecutors said Zyren Stewart reported he was closing the store when an unknown man walked up behind him, pointed a gun at the back of his head and demanded to be taken to the safe.
Zyren Stewart gave police a vague description of the suspect, according to a criminal complaint. He estimated the suspect put $7,500 in a bag.

Dig deeper:
Through surveillance videos, court filings said police were able to link a vehicle to his Xavier Stewart, Zyren's older brother, who was out on extended supervision for a previous conviction.
Walgreens management told detectives Zyren Stewart's behavior inside the store was unusual, and that he kept out large amounts of money against store policy, according to the complaint. He later admitted it was his idea to steal the money, and that he gave his brother the code to hide in the bathroom.
Prosecutors said an estimated $11,000 was stolen. Police also found weapons linked to each of the men.
