Police said a back seat passenger got out of the SUV, approached the victims and pulled out a black handgun from his waistband.

A second robber approached the group and snatched a necklace, wallet and cellphone from two of the victims, authorities said.

Police said the driver of the SUV then pulled up near the victims and the two robbers got into the vehicle and fled the scene.

One of the robbers was captured on surveillance video about 15 minutes later, walking into a Shell gas station before pumping gas.
