The 19-year-old tenant said he heard a faint knock at his door and thought it was a friend who was supposed to come over. He looked through the peep hole and didn’t see anyone, so he opened the door slightly and was pushed back by the two robbers.
One pointed a gun at the victim, saying, “Give me everything you got.” The victim opened his wallet to show he didn’t have any money. One robber looked briefly around the living room while the other kept a gun on the victim.
The robbers left, apparently without taking anything, and got into a vehicle of unknown description.
