District 6 is investigating a carjacking that occurred shortly after 9 p.m. on January 12 at Phillips 66 in the 3700 block of Union.
A 60-year-old man told officers he was attempting to pump gas into his car when a white SUV parked next to his. The 60-year-old man said he turned around and observed an unknown male in the passenger seat of his car. The unknown male was armed with a handgun. At that point, the 60-year-old said another male suspect armed with a handgun appeared and pointed it at the 60-year-old while demanding his car.
The suspect entered the 60-year-old’s 2024 Lexus NX 350 and fled, followed by the white SUV the suspects arrived in. The investigation is ongoing.
