One person was injured after being assaulted during the commission of an armed robbery at 3817 Marigold Dr. on Monday morning around 11:30 a.m., according to an Ames Police press release.
Witnesses said, two black males demanded money and other property after entering the duplex. One of the suspects discharged a handgun into a television set. The suspects stole several items from the residents before fleeing north on foot toward Tripp Street.
Ames Police Cmdr. Jason Tuttle said the suspects are still at-large and the investigation is still underway.
“We believe at least one of the people inside of the apartment knew of one of the guys that was there today,” Tuttle said. “So we think it was targeted.”
Tuttle said the men left with at least a backpack and a purse.
Police say the victim suffered minor injuries and was treated at Mary Greeley Medical Center.
Witnesses described the suspect as a black male with facial hair in his early 20s. He is between 6 feet and 6 feet 2 inches tall, and weighs about 250 pounds. He was last seen wearing a yellow shirt and jeans. Police said he was armed with a handgun.
