As reported in an earlier story by the Whit, two men were assaulted outside of Winans Hall by three black male suspects who approached a four-door sedan. One of them “brandished a possible gun.”

The Rowan Advisory email states two of the assailants were minors, one age 16 and another age 17, with the third suspect being, Zhyace Gilmore, age 18.

Original – Rowan University Police are searching for suspects involved in an incident that occurred outside of the Wellness Center at approximately 8:40 p.m. on Sunday, according to a Rowan Alert email sent to students at 9:40 p.m.

The email stated two men were assaulted outside of Winans Hall by four black male suspects who approached in a four-door sedan. One suspect, dressed in a red sweatshirt with grey pants, demanded money from the two victims while “brandishing a possible hand gun,” the email said.
