The 82-year old man was hit on the head with a gun & a knife put to his throat.

Their car was then stolen & used in this home invasion the same day. (I shared this vid earlier this week.)
The homes are just 1 mile apart.
In that case, a man was w/his sleeping 15-month old when the group of 5 or 6 held him at gunpoint & kidnapped him & took him to an ATM.
The suspects also jumped the fence at this home.
The 1st victims’ daughter explained why she was proud of her parents for giving an interview:
“The story has to be told, especially f/Asians. I just want the community to watch out 4 each other.”
