The Hall County Sheriff's Office is continuing its search for three men involved in a Sunday home invasion that resulted in an Oakwood woman being shot.
Eva Amelia Williams, 26, suffered wounds to her hand and abdomen during a brief struggle with one of the armed intruders, deputies reported. She was listed in stable condition at Northeast Georgia Medical Center late Tuesday.
Williams was visiting relatives who live at a home in the 4100 block of C Rogers Road, where the robbery took place, said Sgt. Kiley Sargent, sheriff's office spokesman.
Others inside at the time were not physically harmed. Deputies listed them in reports as Matthew James Williams, 23, and Carol Williams Renteria, 53. Also named as a complainant was Brittany Nicole Palmer, of an Oliver Road address.
The incident began at 10:40 p.m., officers said, when a white man - described as 6 feet tall, 180 pounds and wearing a red jacket - approached the North Hall County home and asked for one of the occupants by name.
Allowed entry, he soon was followed by two black men. Carrying handguns, they forced their way inside and demanded drugs and money, sheriff's officials said. Each of the armed men was described as 6 feet tall and weighing 180 pounds. One wore all black clothes and the other was dressed in a red shirt with white stripes, the report detailed.
The robbery lasted about eight minutes, officers said, and ended with the men taking electronics and cash, including a laptop, camera, cell phone and about $200.
Investigators said they believe the victims were targeted. They knew the man who first approached the home, Sargent stated earlier.
"We do believe he's going to be involved (in the home invasion). ... It's almost like a setup," Sargent said Monday. "... Right now, we're just following leads and trying to establish exactly what happened."
