Four suspects have been charged in connection with the family invasion of online streamer Amouranth, Kaitlyn Siragusa's real name. The streamer says she was restrained at the muzzle by several individuals requesting that she be handed over a private key for the code.
According to Fox 26, the suspects include Dylan Nesho Campbell, Bryan Anthony Salazar Guerrero and two additional suspects, ages 16-17.
Campbell and Guerrero, like the 17-year-old suspect, were each charged with a fatal weapon and aggravated robbery.
Shiragusa reported that several armed individuals entered the house that beat her late on March 2nd, hugged her at the muzzle and demanded cryptocurrency.

Luckily, her husband was on a speakerphone, but the gunman tried to access the encryption app. Her husband was warned of the situation and grabbed a handgun while trying to measure where the armed man was in the house.
Online streamers have led the assailants around the house and convinced them to start looking for cold storage devices.
As the armed robber was searching for the device, Shiragusa ran to her husband upstairs. She also watched the situation unfold in her home's camera network.
After she was safely upstairs, her husband fired three rounds with the assailant, perhaps the house invader retreated and one in the process before law enforcement arrived on the scene.
Shiragusa's husband revealed that he was posting from her account when the incident unfolded. sauce: Amrans
