One of the three pointed a handgun at the woman and ordered her to sit on the ground, the report said.

The trio took her wedding ring, iPhone 13, Apple Watch, backpack and the keys to her Honda Passport, then fled the scene in the vehicle, the report said.

The victim was able to call police from her boyfriend's phone and gave police the location of her car from her phone's GPS, the report said.

Two suspects were able to flee on foot but a third, 21-year-old Rosniel Ricardo Orfilia, was taken into custody.
