According to the criminal complaint filed in Dakota County, James Albert Silbernagel, 41, came into the boy's house last Thursday while the boy was showering.

Silbernagel, who lives in the same neighborhood, was permitted to use the phone earlier in the day while the victim's mother was home. She later told police that they are not friends and Silbernagel had never been invited into the home without permission.

Teach your children to lock your doors, too.

When Octavio Perez opened the door of his Tuttle Drive home after hearing a knock, he never expected to be staring down the barrel of a gun.

Never open your door if you don't know who's on the other side. Get a peephole, if you don't have one already.

When he opened the door he saw two men, one black and one white, who he thinks were between the ages of 18 and 20. They each pulled out a gun, knocked Perez to the floor and began to hit him with their guns.

What a horrible night.

The suspect holding a gun to Perez continued to beat him as he pushed him into a closet. Perez looked up at his attacker, who hit him again and said, “‘Don’t look at me,’” Perez recalled.

Thankfully, he wasn't seriously hurt.
