FRESNO -- Authorities say a central California homeowner killed a robbery suspect with a samurai sword during a home invasion.
The Fresno County Sheriff's Office says two suspects armed with a handgun and an axe invaded a house in Firebaugh near Fresno in the middle of the night Saturday intending to rob the home.
The suspects, 34-year-old Aaron Baeza and 30-year-old
Christopher Rupe, tied up the homeowner and his girlfriend and demanded money.
They later freed the man to allow him to look for the cash.
The homeowner then stabbed
and killed Baeza with his samurai
sword.
Rupe escaped, remains at large, and is considered armed and
dangerous. Investigators say he may be traveling with an unidentified Caucasian
woman in a dark green Ford F-150 pickup, with a California license plate of
6T04402.
