The robbery happened as Martin and Boone were leaving Boone’s campaign headquarters about 9:44 p.m. Saturday on Lynhurst Drive.
A man approached them and demanded money as well as their car keys, Atlanta police spokesman Carlos Campos told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Martin and Boone handed over personal belongings, cash, credit cards and their keys, and the gunman drove away in a rented 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, Campos said.
He was reportedly wearing a light gray hoodie and carrying a large gun with a red light, authorities said.
He is described as 6-foot-1 and between 19 and 22 years old.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911. Tipsters can remain anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477, texting information to 274637 or visiting crimestoppersatlanta.org.
