On 8/30/13 at 12:02 A.M., officers were dispatched to the 3700 block of Aspen Heights Parkway in reference to a home invasion robbery. The investigation revealed the male victim, 20, heard a knock at the door and when he went to answer two black males unlawfully entered the residence by pointing a handgun at the victim and demanded money.

 A male roommate, 20, upstairs heard the commotion and confronted the suspect.
