The victim told police she was hanging out with friends near a home on Disston Avenue when Cooper grabbed her by the head and pushed her inside the home, then the two other men raped her, according to the arrest report.
The victim was unable to fight off her attackers and the assault left her bleeding and limping, police said. The men told her they were "teaching her a lesson about dating a black man" and threatened to hurt her "ten times worse" if she contacted authorities, the report said.
Police said Fedrick and Gordon are known violent criminals and should be considered armed and dangerous. They are both believed to be in the Central Florida area, possibly in South Lake County, West Orange County or Davenport, which are areas they have been known to frequent.
Warrants have been issued for their arrests.
Anyone with information on either man is asked to contact their local authorities.
