The carjacking happened July 25 behind the Shell gas station in Little Five Points. The video shows the suspect approaching the victim while holding a black and silver handgun. The victim gave the suspect the keys to the car, as well as her wallet, cell phone, and items she just purchased.

As the victim walked away, the suspect called her back to the vehicle and demanded she tell him how to use the push-to-start feature of the car. She showed him the process and he drove off.

The male suspect is described as a black male, around 5'7 and 130 pounds. The victim describes him as skinny, but muscular. He was wearing a red, cut off tank top with black sweatpants and grey tennis shoes. He appeared to be between 18 and 25 years old with acne on his face and neck.

The victim's vehicle has since been recovered, however the suspect is still on the loose.
