Armed Robbery Suspects Sought

NACOGDOCHES — The Nacogdoches Police Department is currently investigating an aggravated robbery at a residence in the 2700 block of Logan Circle around 11:16 Wednesday night. Officials say a male and a female were in the home when someone knocked at the door. The female victim answered the door, and was confronted by two male suspects, one with a gun. The suspects forced their way into the residence, one restraining the female, and the other confronting the male victim. During this confrontation, the handgun in the possession of one of the suspects was discharged. The male victim received a non-life threatening laceration to the head. It is not clear if the laceration was caused by the discharge of the weapon or occurred during a struggle.

The suspects then stole the keys to the victim’s vehicle, and fled the scene in the vehicle. The stolen vehicle was located by Nacogdoches Police a short time later, abandoned on Railroad Street. The suspects are described as African American males, one taller than the other, last seen wearing black shirts and dark pants.
