Houston, TX - Surveillance video continued to roll inside Java Gold as two men walked inside to appraise some jewelry.
Owner Mehmood Ghaznavi didn't suspect anything was wrong as the men sat down to chat at his desk about the jewelry, but a third man would walk in and Ghaznavi would find his life hanging in the balance.

The three men pulled out their handguns and began demanding cash and jewelry and even started unleashing a beating on the Ghaznavi's face, pistol whipping him as many as four times.

Ghaznavi said, "Because they got the gun on your face and they are hitting you with the gun hard, you know. It was a matter of seconds, you live or you die. "

The two men, Erion Fountain and Charston Meachum are now in custody awaiting trial, but the third man is still on the loose.
