White Manhattan Beach Couple Tied Up, Husband Beaten in Home-Invasion Robbery by Hispanics and Blacks
   Manhattan Beach police were searching for four young men who terrorized a married couple and beat the husband during a two-hour home-invasion robbery. Police were called to a home just after midnight Tuesday after the four men had fled the home with cash and guns. The men broke into the empty home by breaking a lower-level window. They were inside when the homeowners returned around 10 p.m. Tuesday. At first, the robbers just pushed the couple around and tied them up, according to the husband, Fred. But then, Fred said the intruders began to get violent with him. They pushed him to the floor, covered his face so he couldn’t breathe and hit him with a gun. “I thought they were going to shoot me,” he said. “When he pulled that gun out … I thought they were going to put it in my face.” Fred was dragged all over the house by the robbers and forced to open the couple’s three safes. The intruders stole cash, guns and ammunition as well as jewelry. They then ransacked the home and fled. One of the men stayed behind and a put a gun to Fred’s head. “All of a sudden he lowers the gun, takes four steps, turns around and says ‘if you move, you’re dead,'” Fred said. Fred and his wife were able to free themselves and call 911. The male thieves were described by police as follows: Hispanic/black, 20 to 25 years old, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall, 140 to 150 pounds, with dark clothing/jacket; Hispanic, 20 to 35 years old, 6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches tall, 220 to 240 pounds, with black clothing and a stocking cap; Hispanic, 20 to 25 years old, 5 feet 1 inch to 6 feet tall, 180 to 190 pounds, with a goatee and baseball cap; and black, 19 to 25 years old, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall, 160 to 170 pounds, with black clothing, hoodie and gloves. |
SAVANNAH, Ga. - A police report states that Keith Passmore, 12, was fatally shot while sitting inside a pick-up truck on Vicksburg Drive. The report says the boy sat inside the truck with Christopher Martin, 20, outside of a house party. That’s when a black male, dressed in all black, approached the truck, banged on the passenger door and said “open up.” Martin told the boy to not open the door and started the vehicle. That’s when the gunman opened fire, and Martin hit the gas. Martin said that once he reached Skidaway he yelled to the boy, who didn’t answer and was slumped over in the passenger seat. Neighbors on the street recall the night saying, “”yeah there were 6 to 8. One person said six. She said 8,” said Gary McKee, neighbor. “And then there was the squealing of the cars. Cars were racing off as if to get out of here and that was just about it.” One woman who lives about six homes away, but did not want to give her name, found a bullet hole in her fence the next morning. “It ricocheted off there and then hit that blanket. The police want to know what that blankets made off because it cradled the bullet.” Passmore attended Myers Middle School and only lived three minutes from the spot where he was murdered. The victim’s mother said that Passmore was shot in the head. - (Black-on-white)
