A few hours later, the women reportedly suggested they have a ‘friend’ come by and drop off beer and cigarettes.
According to the Post, two gun-toting, masked men showed up to the motel around 6.50am.
The men busted into the room, grabbed the suitcase with all of the money inside and fled the scene.
Police released photos of the suspected gunmen and the three women. The men are seen climbing out of a black minivan when they arrived to the motel.
Vellegas told the Post that he is ‘haunted by this’.
‘I keep playing it over in my mind. I was surprised they pulled a gun. I said “What is going on?”
Vellegas said he ‘needed that money badly’ to help move his family.
‘I am nervous all the time now. I keep replaying it over and over. I see the weapon they used clearly over and over,’ he told the newspaper.
Authorities said the settlement money was the result of a suit that involved a car accident.
The three women and masked men are still at large, police said. The investigation is ongoing.
