Grabbing the sword and gun, the roommate told police he confronted Faz in the living room and called 911 immediately after Faz ran off.

Just more than two hours later, police got a call at 5:10 a.m. about an aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon just across the street at 12166 Metric Boulevard. Two people told police they were standing outside their apartment smoking a cigarette when Faz approached them and asked for a cigarette. He allegedly brandished a knife and demanded money, drugs and anything else they had with them.

Police say both were in fear for their lives because Faz was “waving the knife and held it to” one of their throats. At one point, Faz allegedly swung the knife at the person’s face, “causing a minor visible injury to his left cheek.”
