According to investigators, the suspects misrepresented themselves to “several” individuals on the LGBTQ2S+ platform and proceeded to ambush and extort them when they met in person. In another incident earlier that evening, a victim was allegedly attacked by the same suspects after they met randomly on the street. In that case, the victim was forced into his apartment at gunpoint where his gaming station was stolen, police said.
In an update on Tuesday, police released images of several additional suspects wanted in connection with the investigation.
