A man told police he was kidnapped at gunpoint from the Fair View Inn on Sycamore View Road by two men and two women. The victim said the suspects forced him into the back seat of a silver Dodge SUV, took his wallet and cell phone, and forced him to take them to another friend’s residence and knock on the door.
Investigators said the suspects drove to an apartment above the Storage Locker on Summer, forced their way inside, robbed a woman, and shot her boyfriend in the leg. A camera outside the business showed one man was still firing a gun as they fled the scene.
