The third suspect, Camran Jones, is accused of opening the driver’s-side door, wearing a ski mask and punching the victim in the face while threatening to kill him and demanding he open the trunk, according to the complaint.

The suspects eventually took off in a vehicle, according to the victim.

The victim went to Red Lobster in Canal Park to call 911 because he said the suspects took his cell phone.

Police eventually located the suspected vehicle on the run.

All three suspects were arrested.

The victim’s injuries were not life threatening.
