Coral Springs, Florida – According to police, two men were arrested after an entrepreneur was shot in the face during a robbery on Wednesday at a Coral Springs strip mall.
Trae Michael Butler and Richard Fowler are accused of robbing the victim at about 11:35 a.m., at the High Def Barbershop, at 7664 Wiles Rd.
“I have been here 35 years and I have never seen anything like it,” said Carl Zicchnelli, a neighboring business owner.
According to detectives, both, Butler, 18, and Fowler, 21, are accused of walking into the barbershop to shoot and rob the owner.
Doctors at Broward Health North expect the victim to survive the shooting, police said.

Fowler is also facing charges of reckless driving, and operating a vehicle with an expired license. Butler is also facing a charge of resisting arrest without violence.
On Friday afternoon, they both had immigration holds and remained at Broward Sheriff’s Office’s Main Jail.
