When he opened the apartment door, he heard a commotion and loud yelling from a man inside. He went to the bedroom and was immediately pistol-whipped by Williams, allegedly.
Williams and Hudson allegedly continued to batter and question the three victims about the alleged stolen property for about an hour.

Hughes, Williams and Hudson allegedly stole the victims’ wallets, phones, jackets, cash and jewelry, which totaled to $6,260.
At around 1:40 a.m., the first victim was escorted out of the apartment by Hughes, who was armed with a semi-automatic firearm.
The second and third victims were forced from the bedroom to the living room. and were then escorted out by Williams and Hudson, who were also armed.
All three victims were forced into their car, and they drove away.
Del Valle, Williams and a witness went into Arnold’s car, and Arnold allegedly drove away.
After the victims reported the assault to police, Del Valle was arrested, and she admitted to her alleged role in the crime. After further investigation, Randazzo was arrested, and she, too, admitted to her alleged role in the crime.
The victims were later able to positively identify Hudson, Williams, Hughes and Hilton.
