SHELBYVILLE — Police are looking for a man they say robbed and assaulted an elderly couple in a Shelbyville home last month.
Devon L. Parrish, 31, is wanted for armed robbery and other crimes in the Aug. 18 attack on a man and woman, both of whom are in their 80s, Shelbyville Police Department Lt. Michael Turner said in a news release Thursday.
Parrish and an accomplice allegedly entered the couple's home while they were alone inside, Turner said. The suspects beat and shot the man and physically assaulted the woman, Turner said.
