A person close to the incident informed paNOW a woman and grandson live at the residence and he was getting ready for school when the intruders burst in and asked “where is he?”

While one suspect stood by the door, another went into the house and to the boy’s bedroom where he punched the teen about fives times in the head.

After realizing they had the wrong house, the suspects went to leave but not before demanding the woman’s cellphone. The victim suffered a black eye.
