Gwinnett County police are searching for two men suspected of forcing their way into a Duluth man’s home, tying him up and beating him before kidnapping him in his own car in July.
Authorities identified the suspects as Jian Sun, 41, of Norcross, and Stephen Carlos Valenzuela, 24, of Atlanta. Police said the man who was assaulted knew Sun prior to the alleged attack but did not know Valenzuela.

When Sun and Valenzuela released the victim after beating and robbing him, police said, it was with the expectation that he would meet with the suspects to pay them off the next day. The victim went to police instead, but investigators were not able to immediately arrest the suspects.
About three months after the July 29 incident, investigators have released photos of the suspects and are asking for the public’s help in locating them.
