Gwinnett County Police seek help locating two home invasion suspects

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA– The Gwinnett County Police Department is seeking help locating two home invasion suspects.

On July 29, officers responded to a local area hospital and met with the victim in this case. The victim stated that just hours before, a known associate of his, Jian Sun, 41, of Norcross, and an unknown male who was later identified as Stephen Carlos Valenzuela, 24, of Atlanta, assaulted him at his home in Duluth. The victim said that Jian Sun knocked on his door, and when he opened the door, he was beaten and zip-tied by the two suspects. The victim was then placed in the backseat of his own vehicle and driven to an auto shop in Chamblee. The victim stated that he was assaulted at this location. 

The victim was kept at the location while the two suspects went back to his residence and took several items. The victim was eventually released later in the day with the expectation that he would provide the two suspects with money the following day.

Investigators, alongside the Crime Scene Unit, processed both incident locations and identified the two suspects in this case. Both suspects have arrest warrants for home invasion, armed robbery, aggravated assault, kidnapping, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
