A passenger in the back of the sedan pulled out a gun and told the victims not to run.

The victims ran, dropped their backpacks, and hid in the nearby neighborhood.

The victims told police they heard a gunshot as they were running away.

The second incident happened minutes later just east of 43rd Avenue and Baseline Road.

The victim in this robbery provided police with the same suspect and vehicle information as the victims in the first robbery.
