Police say a man was asleep in his vehicle in the parking lot of an apartment complex when an unknown person opened his door and pulled him out of the vehicle.
The unknown man then got into his vehicle and closed the door while the victim attempted to get off the ground and back inside his car.
Authorities say that’s when a second suspect exited the backseat of a silver SUV and struck the victim multiple times in the back of the head, causing him to again fall to the ground.
The second suspect was seen getting back into the SUV while the first suspect drove off in the victim’s blue Nissan Sentra.
A few days later, HPD says they located the victim’s vehicle in the 4500 block of Airline Drive, but the suspects were nowhere to be found.
One of the suspects was said to have been wearing a black shirt and brown pants with a blue cap.
