A carjacking was reported last Friday afternoon. The police said that they found the stolen 2000 Honda Accord in Northgate. It was unoccupied. It was first reported that the carjacking happened just before 10 pm at 10th and Elmgrove. The report originally stated that three people were approached from behind by the robber. A gun barrel was stuck in one of the victim’s back. The suspect then “grabbed the victim with a purse and choked her” and “demanded they give him their property, or he would kill them.” He stole the purse and fled northbound on 10th SW.
The police-report narrative stated the following:
The victim was returning home from work and parked her car in the alley behind her building in the 3000 block of California SW. Her door was open and she was gathering her things. She saw two people walking northbound in the alley past her car, then turning around, walking up to her car, and demanding she get out and give them her keys.
The victim hesitated a moment and then one pulled out a handgun and said, “We’re not kidding, get the f— out.” She was frozen in shock, the report says, and the other carjacker grabbed her arm and pulled her out. Both then got in and drove the car away. Her purse with ID, credit cards, and money was still inside, She was not injured.
This excerpt from the narrative includes descriptions:
