The Think Like A Man actor, who is also known as Terrence Jenkins, told police the terrifying ordeal began about 3:01 a.m.

Police said the robbers fled in a Silver Jeep Cherokee. LAPD Media Relations confirmed to UrbanHollywood411 that shots were fired and an assault with a deadly weapon report was taken.

Jenkins is best known for hosting BET’s 106 & Park from 2006 until 2012 and then he co-hosted E! News from 2012 to 2015.

The LAPD issued a crime alert earlier this week, warning residents about an increase in “follow-home” robberies targeting people leaving L.A.’s Jewelry District, nightclubs and expensive restaurants.
