The LAPD confirmed the male suspect broke into the elderly woman's home around 2:30 PM. He used zip-ties to restrain her, pistol-whipped her, and made out with her jewelry.
The suspect fled the scene in a beige SUV.
Lewis' neighbor suffered minor injuries during the attack.
"It's very alarming. And we need to start funding our police department so they can actually do their jobs and get out here and protect us and patrol because there's just not enough of them and they don't have the tools and resources to do their job," a neighbor told FOX 11.
"There's been crime in this neighborhood. And it's just it's unbelievable. This was always a quiet, safe neighborhood. There was little things that went on… car break-ins, but nothing major where you would see people getting pistol-whipped or, you know, zip tied and you never saw a police activity like this in this neighborhood," another neighbor added. "So it's truly unfortunate. It's a sad sign of the times right now."
