Police say at about 5:30 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 4, officers responded to a home in the 100 block of W. Woodland St. after receiving reports of a man screaming for help in a backyard.

In addition, police say the suspects entered the victim's home before leaving the scene. 

No one was injured during this incident. 

Police say the incident does not appear to be random, and the victim was targeted.

The investigation is ongoing.
