College students robbed at gunpoint in dorm

Two N.C. Central University students were robbed at gunpoint in their dorm room Monday night.

NCCU police said two armed suspects entered Richmond Residence Hall at 6:30 p.m. and robbed several students of personal property kept in their student dorm rooms.

Police do not believe there is a continuing threat to the campus.

The two suspects were last seen leaving Richmond Residence Hall through a rear exit of the building and heading in the direction of the track field.

One of the suspects was described as a 19- to 24-year-old, black male, around 5 feet and 6 inches tall with a “stocky” build. Witnesses reported seeing two teardrops tattooed beneath his right eye, a goatee, short braids and a gold grill in his mouth.

The second suspect was described as being a thin, 18- to 20-year-old, black male, around 6 feet tall and having a box top style haircut.
