The NOPD is requesting assistance from the public with information regarding a perpetrator and suspect vehicle in the investigation of an armed carjacking on September 22, 2020 in the 6000 block of Cameron Boulevard.

The victim was seated in his dark gray 2011 Nissan Altima bearing Florida license plate 77695Z, when he was approached by a black male wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt that exited the above pictured red Mercedes SUV. The subject allegedly brandished a firearm and demanded the victim exit the vehicle. The victim had difficulty exiting the vehicle, at which time a second unknown male emerged from the red SUV but did not approach the victim. The first subject in the blue hoodie then entered the victim’s vehicle and fled, followed by the second subject in the red SUV.
