WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — Two people are in custody and are facing charges relating to a May home invasion in Warner Robins, according to a press release from the Warner Robins Police Department.
Two 17-year-olds, Latronza Burke and Jatavious Leyva, are charged with two counts of criminal attempt to commit home invasion, two counts of home invasion, two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of armed robbery.
Burke faces additional charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
In May, a man was shot in the arm after two armed men broke into a Warner Robins home and demanded money from the residents.
The department says the suspects also attempted to break into two other homes on Jackie Boulevard, which is off North Houston Road, but they were unable to enter them.
The two victims “were awoken by a loud crashing noise coming from the front door” of their home around 2 a.m. Then, two masked men barged into their bedroom with guns, the department said in the press release.
The victims told police the two suspects demanded money from them, and they also said several items were stolen.
Before the suspects left the scene, one of the people inside the home was shot in the forearm, the press release said. They say he was taken to the hospital where he is listed in stable condition.
