Henderson Police said this person was captured on video using credit/debit cards stolen in a robbery about 2:30 a.m. Nov. 7 near a park at Whitney Ranch and Galleria drives.

A robber who took a Henderson man’s wallet and keys at gunpoint showed up about a week later at the victim’s apartment, where he let himself in and shot at a roommate who confronted him, according to Henderson Police.

The original victim was robbed about 2:30 a.m. Nov. 7 by two people near a park at Whitney Ranch and Galleria drives, police said.

The victim was hit with a gun, causing a cut on the top of his head, and the suspects took his wallet and apartment keys, police said.

Police said they believe that about 5:30 a.m. Nov. 15, the same suspects went to the victim’s apartment in the 600 block of Whitney Ranch Drive, where he lives with two roommates. A male suspect got into the apartment using the victim’s keys, police said.

A male roommate of the victim heard someone come into the apartment, and when he went to investigate, the suspect fired two shots at him, police said.

Both shots missed, and the roommate charged the suspect to prevent him from firing again, police said.

A fight broke out, and the suspect hit the man multiple times with the gun, causing numerous cuts on his head and face, police said. The suspect fled.

A male and a female were seen on video in numerous locations using the robbery victim’s credit/debit cards, police said.

The male had prescription glasses and was last seen wearing an Oakland Raiders beanie cap and dark clothing.

The female was wearing black pants, a black hooded sweatshirt with white writing on the front and a pink undershirt.

Police are also looking for a silver 2003-2004 Toyota Matrix with a dent in the rear driver’s side.
