According to police, a woman was at her boyfriend’s apartment when she looked outside and noticed someone was inside his SUV.
The woman told her boyfriend, who then ran outside and found a man sitting in the driver’s seat, attempting to steal the vehicle.
The boyfriend, at first, tried to hold the driver’s side door closed in an attempt to trap the suspect, but the suspect pulled out a handgun, police said.
The SUV owner ran off as the suspect discharged his gun twice, shattering the glass. The suspect jumped out through the broken window, finished rummaging through the vehicle, then fled the scene.
The suspect was wearing a red sleeveless jersey with #35, dark pants and had short, black hair.
