TAMPA - Had the wound on Benny Perez’s head been any lower, there’s a good chance he might not be alive today.
“I should be dead. By all laws of everything, I should be dead. Miracles and that, nah, God was protecting me,” explained Perez.
Saturday police say three men, Antonio Madden, Dominic Baldwin and Melvin Monroe-Wilson, all from Lakeland, went into The K&B Tattoo shop where Perez works.
They got a price estimate for a tattoo and left. But Perez says minutes later, the men were back, and this time they had a gun.
“I went and stood next to my girl and they pulled out the gun and started waving the gun around,” said Perez.
