One suspect assaulted a woman in the residence and, when another occupant tried to intervene, a second suspect pointed a firearm at both victims.

Police did not report any injuries in the incident.

The suspects were last seen leaving in a black or dark-coloured sedan.

The first suspect is described as apparently of Middle Eastern heritage, five-feet-nine-inches tall, weighing 190 pounds (86 kg). He was wearing a black hoodie with white strings, a black jacket, blue jeans, black shoes, and possibly prescription glasses.

The second suspect is described as a 19- to 20-year-old black man, five-feet-seven inches tall. He was wearing a green jacket, black-and-white checkered scarf covering his head and shoulders, red shirt or sweater with a blue logo on the front, black shoes with “a shiny metal on the shoelaces.”
