A woman who recently moved to Atlanta is hoping the community will help find her 3-month-old puppy who she said was taken from her at gunpoint.
Allysha Green is a huge animal lover. She can't stand the thought that her new puppy, Kenji, a Cane Corso, could be in danger.
"He's super sweet," she explained.
Green added, "He doesn't go anywhere without me, and I don't go anywhere without him."
Kenji has been missing since Thursday, Oct. 17, when he was taken from a townhome community in southwest Atlanta.
Green said a man she recently met texted her with an address and asked if she wanted to meet that evening.
Green said that while she had some reservations at the time, she agreed and grabbed Kenji.
The two headed over to the address, which was off Benjamin E. Mays Drive.
She pulled into the Cascades and drove down Providence Place, eventually dead ends.
Green said the number the man texted her was legit, and it was the last townhome in the row of homes.
As she parked, Greene said she noticed no one was around, so she called the guy, who told her his name was 'Trey.'
She said he, or he would be there in five minutes.
"He even told me, like it's okay to bring your puppy, it's fine," Greene said.
A few minutes passed, and Greene said 'Trey' showed up.
"He walked up to me, like made real quick small conversation; “Hey how are you, your dog is cute," she explained.
Greene said things quickly changed, "He pets him (Kenji) then he pulled the gun on me."
She said her worst nightmare is playing out in real-time in a matter of seconds. She's looking down the barrel of a gun.
"I was shocked, and literally thought I was going to die," Greene said.
She said as the guy was holding a gun to her, he told her not to make any sudden movement.
"Don't scream, don't move, just do what we tell you and you can live," Greene explained.
She said for a second that she was confused about the 'we,' but that's when a second man popped up behind a vehicle. Greene said this guy was also armed, and now she had two guns pointed at her.
She said the men in their young 20s wanted money.
"I told them I didn't have any money," Greene said.
She said the men not only went through her car looking for money, "The second guy had me open my cash app on my phone to see if there was any money he could send to himself."
Greene said they turned their attention to her puppy when they realized she had no money.
"He walked up to me, snatched my leash and he said let the dog go, because you don’t have any money you just lost your dog," she said.
The men also took her phone so she couldn't call for help.
Greene said the men told her to leave and not to look back. As soon as she pulled out of the space, she looked and saw one of the men handing Kenji over the fence, and the two men disappeared.
On Monday, Greene showed 11Alive the area where Kenji was taken. A set of rail tracks runs behind the community, and several communities along Fairburn Road are on the other side of the tracks.
Greene filed a report with Atlanta Police, who are now investigating. At this point, Greene said her priority is finding Kenji and bringing him home.
Anyone with information on this case or who might have seen the puppy is asked to call Atlanta Police.
