The victim states that at approximately 6:40 p.m. he responded to a knock at the door, and as he opened the door, two male suspects pushed in the door to gain entry to the room. One suspect displayed what appeared to be a silver handgun. The two suspects took a small amount of cash and cell phones from the room before fleeing the building. No injuries were reported.
The suspects are described as two black males, both approximately 5’8” to 5’10” tall, and wearing black hoodies. One of the suspects was carrying a black duffle bag.
