She Asked For A Smoke Then Carjacked Her Victim

SANTA ANA, CA — An 18-year-old woman and a 17-year-old juvenile man were arrested following a carjacking and attempted murder in Orange County, Friday morning, according to local officials.

At approximately 2 a.m. a man was sitting inside his Nissan Xterra when a black sedan parked behind him, driven by a woman with a male juvenile passenger, Santa Ana Police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.

The woman asked if the Nissan Xterra driver could give her cigarette right before the juvenile drew a gun.

"The male juvenile ordered the victim out of the Xterra at gunpoint," Bertagna said. "For unknown reasons, the victim was then shot twice."

The woman drove off in the Xterra, and the juvenile male drove off in the black sedan, leaving the victim behind.

"Officers located the victim's vehicle at the Chevron station on 1100 block of South Bristol Street," Bertagna said. "Both suspects have been taken into custody without incident, and the investigation is ongoing."

The victim was last reported in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries.

Anyone with information is asked to call or Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1-855-TIP-OCCS.
