While many Sac State students went home at the start of the summer, there were plenty still living at the student housing. Unfortunately for one of these residents, they ended up being the victim of an armed robbery on Aug. 4.

According to a timely warning notice sent by Sac State Police, a resident of the Hornet Commons was accosted by a group of about 4 to 5 men while walking between buildings, one of whom had a handgun in his waistband.

The suspects allegedly demanded the victim hand over their backpack and a struggle ensued that resulted in the victim being struck in the face. The suspects fled the scene in a stolen grey 2018 Hyundai Sonata, with a licensed plate numbered “8DBR130.”
