A group of masked men robbed a man at gunpoint as he walked with his family near Lake Street and 5th Avenue South in Minneapolis early Monday morning, then fled in a stolen Dodge Charger before leading police on a high-speed chase through city streets and Powderhorn Park, according to charges.

The robbery happened at about 2:38 a.m. on August 3. Minneapolis police responded to the area after the victim and his family were confronted by four to five males dressed in all black sweatshirts and ski masks. One of the suspects called the victim by name and held him at gunpoint.

The victim told officers he recognized one of the suspects as an old friend known as “DiDi” by his eyes, but did not know his real name. The suspects pistol whipped the victim on the right side of his face, punched him twice on the left side and stole his wallet, chain and cell phone before fleeing in a black or dark grey Dodge Charger.
