one gold chain valued $190,000, one gold finger ring valued $130,000 and one Samsung S9 cellular phone valued $120,000.
After leaving the wake and arriving home about 1:30hrs, he was greeted with a male pointing what appeared to be a handgun at him and told him to lie on the ground which he did in fear.
