He demanded money and ultimately stole the woman’s phone and a gun from the apartment.
Police are still working to identify the suspect. They believe the attack was random and that the suspect did not know the victims,
“The 11-year-old was playing outside when he was approached by a male subject,” Sgt. Quantavis Garcia with Conyers police said. “With somebody targeting an 11-year-old and putting a gun to his head, that is outrageous, dangerous. This person does not deserve to be in our community.”
Police said there was also a 1-year-old inside the apartment.
