Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

extortion question.

i owed an individual money, he then made physical harm threats, then he physically battered me, and then took his money from a loan. he took $5000 dollars over the dollar amount negotiated. does this constitute extortion. he has also made threats like ''if a third party doesnt pay me my money i will go take your truck.'' the third party is a mutual aquaintance. but i dont owe the money, he does. is this extortion as well...and last, i had that same third party come and threaten me for money to give to the person from the above scenario. he then assaulted me for money. and i paid him money in fear. but im sure this money was given to the original extortionist in my scenario. what can i do. i have already filed an assault and battery complaint, should i file an extortion complaint or just add that to my statement with the District Attorney
