The victim left the Econo Lodge and was in the parking lot when a suspect approached her. The suspect brandished a black automatic handgun and demanded that the victim return to the Econo Lodge with him. Once inside, where there was a second victim, the suspect demanded property and the victims complied. After robbing the establishment, the suspect then robbed the victims. He then exited the Econo Lodge and fled on foot crossing New Hampshire Avenue toward Kingwood Drive. Montgomery County K-9 conducted a track, however, the suspect was not located.
