Three persons of interest are being sought in the recent beating of an 80-year-old man in East Point, police said.
The victim, whose name was not released, was assaulted by two men and a woman after returning home from visiting friends Sept. 14, police said.
A female driver blocked the man’s vehicle in the area of Stone and Washington roads, and two men jumped from a Mercedes Benz SUV, armed with at least one handgun, police said.
A brick was thrown into the victim’s windshield and the assailants beat the man in the head with the handgun. The attackers then fled the scene. The man suffered broken bones to his face and cuts on both arms, police said.
East Point police are looking for a woman who possibly goes by the name “Esha” and two men known as “Dexter” and “Tray,” who also goes by “Rickey.”
Three other persons of interest in the case have been cleared of all wrongdoing, authorities said Wednesday.
A reward has been offered of up to $2,000 for assistance with the case. Anyone with information can call East Point police at 404-761-6287 or 404-577-8477. Tips also can be submitted online at crimestoppersatlanta.org. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
