At approximately 10:06 p.m., 4th District officers responded to the 15400 block of Gallaudet Ave. for the report of a robbery.

Through the course of the investigation, detectives identified King as a one of the suspects. An arrest warrant was issued, and King was arrested without incident on Tuesday, November 1, 2022. Taylor was later identified as the second suspect. An arrest warrant was issued, and Taylor was arrested on Thursday, November 3, 2022, without incident.
