SALISBURY — A local man was charged Wednesday with involvement in a June home invasion and robbery where a couple and child were threatened at gunpoint.

Kyheem Tyree Martinez, 27, was charged with felony robbery with a dangerous weapon, breaking and entering and a probation violation. He was issued a $9,500 secured bond and remains in the Rowan County Detention Center. A second suspect is being sought, according to Salisbury Police detective Russ DeSantis.

Someone knocked on the door of a home in the 600 block of West Franklin Street early on the morning of June 25, DeSantis said. A woman living at the home told police she heard the knock and a man who was also living at the home answered the door, DeSantis said.

There was some conversation between the man who lived there and two intruders who were outside. The man tried to shut the door, but the two others forced their way into the house. One of the suspects had a gun, grabbed the man and asked about money.

When the men threatened to shoot the couple’s young daughter, they told the suspects where the money was located in the home. DeSantis said the suspects stole several thousand dollars.
