The woman said that her business had burned down, so she was only allowing a few customers into her residence so she could do their hair. She told police she was expecting a friend, so she left the back gate unlocked so they could access her back door. When she heard a knock at her door, she opened it and two unknown men, one armed with a handgun, forced their way into her residence.

One of the men went to get the cash drawer while the other suspect searched the woman’s pockets for money. The pair then fled the location in an unknown direction.

The incident was captured on a security camera. Watch it unfold in the video below.

Here’s a description of the subjects, as described by the police:

  • Suspect #1: Black male, 19 to 22 years old, black hooded coat with graphics in the front, black pants and red sandals.
