Gunman Robs Woman, Then Asks Her Out For Date On Facebook

A woman was robbed at gunpoint in Indianapolis, United States after leaving work. Bizarrely, the man who robbed her then messaged her on social media and told her she was "too pretty to rob" and asked her out. 

As per reports, the accused man approached Amber Beraun and pointed a gun as she was making her way to the mailbox. After robbing her, he demanded that she would connect with him on social media and later asked her out. 

According to court documents, the accused identified as Damien Boyce allegedly demanded that Amber Beraun let him into her house. Instead of complying, she handed him 100 dollars (8,200 rupees). However, Boyce did not leave immediately after receiving the money. He proceeded to point his gun at her once again and demand that she connect with him on Facebook.

Beraun expressed that the incident not only involved an attempted robbery of her belongings but also robbed her of her sense of safety within her own home.

In her statement, Beraun expressed that, as a young woman, the thought of such incidents always lingers in one's mind, yet it feels improbable to experience them personally. She shared that even now, she struggles to fully comprehend the events that unfolded last month.

In an interview with a local news outlet, Beraun stated that she decided to add Boyce on Facebook, hoping that it would prompt him to leave, which eventually happened. After Boyce departed, he messaged her on the social media platform and wrote that she was "too pretty to rob" and claimed that he would reimburse her.

After receiving a message from Boyce, Beraun replied, expressing her belief in his sincerity and acknowledging the challenges people face during difficult times. Encouraged by her response, Boyce then invited Beraun to "come chill." The incident left her deeply shaken. She shared her heightened sense of unease, knowing that individuals roam the streets, actively searching for opportunities to commit crimes.

Beraun also revealed that the incident had affected her, making her more anxious whenever she hears unfamiliar noises at night. According to a report from the New York Post, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department disclosed that Boyce had been arrested and charged in a separate armed robbery earlier that month. The report stated that Boyce allegedly shot two individuals and struck another on the head with a brick.
