The three men and a previously convicted suspect encountered the couple in the parking lot of the apartment complex where their two vehicles were parked next to each other.

They held the boyfriend at gunpoint and forced him to watch as they assaulted his girlfriend.

At one point, one of the suspects threatened to “blow her brains out” if the woman retaliated in any way during the attack. After the attack, the suspects grabbed items from both victims’ cars and walked away, while the victims ran in different directions. Both called the police.
