"These family members ultimately restrained the victim using a rope. Held him against his will, assaulted him multiple times and even threatened to kill him," according to a news release sent to Fox News from the San Bruno Police Department. The news release said the victim eventually was "released" and ran away from the home.
The 15-year-old's sister claimed her parents thought the boy was an intruder and acted in self-defense, KGO-TV reported.
"They were so scared because they found someone in the closet. They jumped because everyone was sleeping and this guy started kicking my step-father and trying to kill him," Belkys Gomez said.
Katherine Gomez, who was in the home during the alleged attack, reportedly said, "He (the victim) punched her and then my step-dad, of course, is not going to let anyone hit his wife. They tried to stop him and he was acting very violent so they grabbed a rope to try to tie him down and ask him why he was at the house."
Police said the three suspects used racial slurs during the alleged attack.
"The victim reported that throughout this attack the suspects yelled at him using multiple racial slurs, and he believed his race to be a motivating factor in the attack," police said in the news release, adding that "the victim is African-American, and the suspects are of Hispanic descent."
Katherine Gomez reportedly said the racial accusations were "not true at all."

Awww, I wouldn’t call a young girl that name.
We don’t know what happened, if anything, between the two teens.
But parents can’t just tie up a girl’s boyfriend and threaten to kill him.
I removed my daughters’ bedroom
door as punishment due to
similar circumstances.
Scared the crap out of the kid
that wasn’t supposed to be in my
daughters’ room at 3:00 am.
Our dog alerted me to the
fact there was a stranger
in the house with a series
of low growls.
Later, the wife said I looked kind
of silly standing there with my
.357 strapped on over my boxers.
Probably? You aren’t from florida huh.
This guy would be room temp before the cops even get there.
We consider it an Olympic event
Yeah but you guys in Florida have alligators to recycle stuff. It’s tougher elsewhere. Raise them right this crap don’t happen. 15 would Piss me off, glad I ain’t got there but it wouldn’t end pretty.
Stranger in my daughter’s closet?
Meet Mr. Ithaca NID and two rounds of 12 ga. #4 short magnums.
Now he ain’t goin nowhere, he ain’t talkin and he’s in my house.
Sheriff once told me - if you have to shoot someone makesure you drag some part of his body over the threshold.
I live in Florida.

Pathetic. Girl hiding a boy in her bedroom closet, and you blame and want to kill the boy? The misandry and white knighting is strong here. Maybe the boy’s parents should threaten the girl’s life the same way you threatened the boy’s life? Why not?
Where did it say the girl was hiding the boy in the closet? That’s your assumption. If the boy’s parents don’t like it they can try to do something about it. Their subject to the same medicine. Any boy or man that enters a minor girls bedroom without her parents permission at that time of night is Terminally stupid. Take your self-righteous BS and shove off.
Clearly, the boy was not an intruder which means he was invited guest of the 15-year-old girl and not guilty of any crime. And the boy was a minor himself as he was only 17. So no, I won’t shove off. You take your gynocentric, white knight misandry and shove off.
Remind your teenaged sons that an invitation to "visit" a girlfriend at night could mean a death sentence.
Like the sign says “Nevermind the Dog, Beware of Dad”
That's about long enough for the daughter to decide to admit inviting him.
That is true, but it also seems that the police are trying extra hard to make this into some kind of hate crime case. Somehow I think being in a 15 year old girl's bedroom at 2AM when her parents show up is more likely to be the cause of anger than the color of the young man's skin. In that situation if there was even a slight chance the male was uninvited by the female, many people would consider it a felony rape or attempted rape in progress and act accordingly.
The family may have been trying to do the young man a favor, instead of bringing charges against him for his alleged attack on the parents.
They also may have been trying to deal with the situation as a family matter, instead of a police matter. The young man's allegations don't seem entirely consistent with the story told by the sisters of the young woman.
It is interesting that we are now seeing someone found at 2AM hiding in a teenage girl's closet as a "victim".
See the Daily Mail article here for more details.
That's not what the "implied threat of violence" is about. It would be more of a message to the young man to not consider any inappropriate actions toward the young woman. In other words the daughter better not come home with a black eye, or crying and explaining that she was raped, etc.
Your son may not need that kind of message, but in some cases young men need a clear message that someone cares a lot for a young woman and expects that they will not be mistreated.
Also, the mere fact that someone has a firearm doesn't make an "implied threat of violence" which is inappropriate. I have spoken with many armed guards, police officers, etc. and don't assume that they are threatening me. Do you?
because that is just AUTOMATICALLY to be believed, right? Which of course, would then lead an innocent young man to be attacked or brutalized by an ignorant father or brother without any further thought being put into it. Would you be OK with a boy’s parents telling a young woman that he is dating to behave herself, or else face repercussions of physical violence?
Your son may not need that kind of message, but in some cases young men need a clear message that someone cares a lot for a young woman and expects that they will not be mistreated.
NO young man needs that message unless there is some evidence that he is the type of person that would be violent. In which case the girl shouldn’t be going out with him in the first place. But with no evidence to the contrary that the young man is a genuinely good person, no lecture, warning , or implied threat should be given. It is unwarranted, insulting, and misandric. A lecture to their own daughter would be more appropriate.
Also, the mere fact that someone has a firearm doesn't make an "implied threat of violence" which is inappropriate. I have spoken with many armed guards, police officers, etc. and don't assume that they are threatening me. Do you?
Openly displaying your weapon when a guest comes to your home for the first time, particularly when accompanied by some sort of warning or lecture is in implied threat of violence.
Me thinks thou doth protest a wee bit too much.
You wouldn't answer my simple question if you thought that a police officer, security guard, or other armed person was inherently, by virtue of their possession of a firearm, a threat of violence. Instead you made up a hypothetical situation involving threats or warning.
Have a nice day.
Really? About what, Shakespeare? I’m just calling out the ignorance and hypocrisy that a lot of other people on here are supporting.
Actually, I’m the one who stayed on topic. You are the one who pulled security guards out of thin air.
"Openly displaying your weapon when a guest comes to your home for the first time, particularly when accompanied by some sort of warning or lecture is in implied threat of violence."
So drop the warning or lecture part and you are saying "Openly displaying a weapon when a guest comes to your home for the first time...is (a)n implied threat of violence." That's how English works.
And so my question still stands. If the person whose home you are visiting is a police officer, or a security guard, or just happens to be an armed person do you think you are being threatened with violence?
I have been at the homes of police officers who are dressed and ready for work. Personally I didn't feel threatened. But maybe you do.
