November 22nd, 2009 · 65 Comments

At approximately 1:50 a.m. this morning, Sunday, November 22, officers were called to the scene of a reported assault and robbery outside a motel in the 2200 block of Aurora Ave N. According to the police report, the victim said he had been sitting in his motel room with his girlfriend and his friend, a man who later called the police, and had gone outside to have a cigarette when he was confronted by at least two men, one of which reportedly had a handgun.

According to the victim, when he walked down the stairs he heard someone say, “There’s one of them,” before he was grabbed by the man with the gun and struck several times with it. He also said he believed he was pepper sprayed. The suspects then reportedly robbed him of his personal items, including his wallet, cell phone, keys, his own gun (a CCW) and two magazines. The victim said he then went back to his friend’s room, where he heard a knock on the door followed by the suspects attempting to gain entry, though they were not successful.

When the police arrived there were no signs of the suspects. The victims could not provide descriptions for either suspects, who are still at large.
