A third unidentified man, described by police as Black, remains at large. According to state police, a woman answered the door of the home for Charles and Thomas, whom she knew as friends of a 17-year-old male resident. Once inside, Charles and Thomas confronted the teenager, demanded money and threatened him with a handgun, police said. The woman heard the commotion, retrieved a rifle and confronted the suspects, according to police. The men then took the rifle, pointed it at her and demanded money. Two children were in the house during the incident. Police said one child barricaded themself in a bedroom while the other ran to a neighbor’s home for help.
