At about 8:50 p.m., the man was walking to his car parked on Union Circle, near the RTVFP building, when two men climbed into his vehicle and pulled out a gun, according to a police statement.

The three robbery suspects are believed to be aged between 18 and 22. One was described as being tall, muscular, and was wearing a black tank top and shorts. He had black, "box" cut hair and was clean shaven, police said.

The second man was skinny with a plain, white t-shirt, was clean shaven and approximately 5'10".

The getaway vehicle was described as being a gray, late-90s model Toyota Camry with several dents.
