On 12-04-2020 at 1707 hours, a female located a phone for sale on Facebook. She made contact with the seller and they arranged to meet in front of the victim’s apartment in the East Precinct. The male seller and male associate met the victim and she suggested they go inside to complete the transaction in the well-lighted lobby. The victim examined the phone for sale and as she tried to put the sim card from her own phone into the one for sale, one of the suspects yanked the money that the victim had brought out of her hand. The second subject pulled out a 9 MM handgun and pointed it at her. This subject racked a round into the chamber and at the same time ejected a 9 MM round out onto the floor. The suspects then took the phone for sale back and demanded the victim’s phone. The victim would not give the suspects her own phone and she said it appeared that they decided against threatening her any further and ran out the lobby door. Officers set up containment and searched the area, but the subjects were not located. Officers recovered the ejected 9 MM round from the floor. Officers are also attempting to collect other evidence.
