A female student told police that she was walking in the P-5 parking lot, west of Oakview Hall, when she was approached by a white four-door sedan occupied by two college-aged males.

The suspect in the passenger seat reportedly rolled down the window and pointed a black handgun with an orange tip at her and said, “Give me all your money.” He is described as having a fade-style haircut.

As the student walked away from the car towards the residence halls, she said the suspects left the area, heading north through the P-5 lot.

Later in the night, the two men were arrested.

The identities of the suspects have not been revealed, as the investigation is ongoing.
