The timestamp in the video is about 25 minutes fast compared to actual time. Security video shows that two suspects arrived about 4:32 a.m. in a white Jeep Cherokee, and that the driver backed into a parking space next to the driver’s side of the victim’s Dodge Challenger. The driver of the Jeep Cherokee apparently remains sitting inside the Jeep Cherokee. Two passenger suspects get out of the Jeep Cherokee and one works the passenger side door of the 2-door Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. He drops some equipment, while the other passenger suspect from the Jeep Cherokee looks a little jumpy and stands watch at the scene. His right hand is in a pocket of his hoodie, so he is possibly armed and ready to fire. “Jumpy” was sitting in the rear, right passenger seat, but will re-enter the Jeep Cherokee and sit in the front passenger seat when another suspect driver arrives in a white Audi Q5, and while the other passenger works on the victim’s vehicle.




The driver of a red Dodge Challenger arrives in the lot at 4:33 a.m. and backs into a space across from the parking spot of the victim’s dark gray Dodge Challenger.

Next, the driver of the white Audi Q5 SUV arrives at 4:34 a.m. in the southwest entrance of the parking lot while the passenger that was in the front seat of the Jeep Cherokee crawls head first through the passenger window opening of the victim’s 2-door Dodge Challenger. The driver of the Audi Q5 backs into a space across from the victim’s Dodge Challenger. This is when the passenger in the white Jeep Cherokee gets back in the front passenger seat of the Jeep Cherokee. He might be relaxing his cover position with the arrival and additional cover of the suspect in the white Audi Q5.

The suspect that crawled into the victim’s vehicle works about 4 minutes and 30 seconds in the driver’s seat before getting the vehicle started, an all the suspects immediately leave the parking lot in their vehicles immediately after the victim’s vehicle is started.




At about 4:39 a.m. the suspects begin to leave the parking lot. The suspects in the Jeep Cherokee leave first, heading south through the parking lot but turning right to travel northbound on Harlem Avenue. The suspect(s) in the Audi Q5 leave next, heading north in the parking lot. The suspect in the stolen Dodge Challenger leaves next, followed by the suspect(s) in the red Dodge Challenger. None of the vehicles are seen headed southbound on Harlem Avenue for the next minute. All of the vehicles apparently headed northbound on Harlem Avenue toward Waveland Avenue.
