When officers arrived, they found evidence of forced entry into the apartment, a broken back window, and multiple trails of blood leading away from the apartment.
Detectives determined the victims were inside the apartment when they were randomly targeted for a home invasion-style robbery by the three suspects. The victims realized the armed suspects were forcing their way into the apartment. They then broke a bedroom window, which caused their serious injuries, and escaped to safety.
Home doorbell camera footage was available and recorded the robbery suspects entering the apartment.
The three suspects involved were arrested by APD’s Violent Crime Taskforce and South Metro Tactical Unit.
One more suspect has not been found yet. Police are still asking the public for help.
