The man said that as he exited his vehicle, he was approached by three unknown males, who appeared to be juveniles. The group asked him for a ride and since he had seen them around the area before, he agreed to drive them to an apartment complex located at 5050 Sunflower, HPD said.
When they arrived at the apartment parking lot, the man said all three of the suspects pulled out handguns and forced him to get out of the truck. The suspects then drove away in the victim’s 2002 black Ford Ranger, police said. As of Monday, the man’s vehicle had not been recovered.
