FIRST REPORT, 11:41 PM WEDNESDAY: Police are at Westwood Village talking with a person who reported their car was stolen in a carjacking just before 11:30 pm. We haven’t heard exactly how it happened, but the car was described over police radio as a black Honda Accord, plate CTU4422, and the carjackers were described as “two Black males in black ski masks and all-black clothing,” last seen heading away from Westwood Village, westbound on SW Trenton. If you have any information, the SPD incident number is 26-215265.

UPDATE, 10:35 AM THURSDAY: We requested and obtained the report narrative from SPD. The only descriptive details are what we mentioned above, with the added detail, “one black pistol each.” From the document (with SPD’s redactions):

… XXXX was on the phone with his mother who lives in India and was standing outside of his vehicle in the parking lot. XXXX was also eating Popeye’s on the trunk of his vehicle when he observed a silver or dark colored sedan driven up to him. That is when two black males in all dark clothing and face masked get out of the vehicle and each one-pointed what XXXX believe to be a black or silver firearm.

They immediately told XXXX to put his hands in the air and to throw his car key to them. XXXX complied and threw his keys, and they then told him to run away, to which he did. XXXX stated that as he was running away, they began to laugh at him and XXXX XXXX car. The subjects then drove away going northbound in the parking lot and XXXX went to nearby
vehicles that called 911. XXXX stated XXXX. Additionally, noting that his car was empty and only had approximately 36 miles left. …

As explained in radio communication at the time, that was ~36 miles of fuel. Police gave the victim a ride home.
