A Killeen shoe store owner is being accused of scamming people out of hundreds â and thousands â of dollars. At least four buyers or investors have shared their story with the Herald about the money they have lost.
Cedric Ellington is the owner of Backdoor Kickz, a consignment athletic shoe store that opened in April on Gray Street in Killeen. It used to be located in the Killeen Mall. When the store opened in downtown Killeen earlier this year, it was done so with a ribbon cutting attended by the Killeen mayor and the Innovation Black Chamber of Commerce.
Devaughn Bell said he invested $10,000 in Ellingtonâs business in 2020 and that Ellington was meant to pay him back $15,000 by the end of the first year.
