The suspects have both been described as black males; one dressed in all black with a white shirt under his jacket and carrying an assault rifle, the other wearing a mask, a blue jacket with white writing, black pants and black/white shoes, brandishing a pistol. They are reportedly known to frequent the Preservation Place apartments at Cass Avenue & Hogan Street and have been classified as armed and dangerous.
