At 11:30 a.m. on June 5, a silvery Chevy Impala was seen on a surveillance video parked outside the Summit Apartments at 8201 Henry Ave. Seated inside the car were three unknown black males.

The vehicle parked and two suspects, one in a fluorescent yellow vest and the second wearing a burgundy sweatshirt exited the vehicle and after entering the building, forced entry to an apartment.

The third suspect stayed seated in the car as a lookout.
