Student Carjacked At St. Ignatius In Cleveland

CLEVELAND, OH — Police are looking for two men that stole a car from a 17-year-old St. Ignatius student last week. The teenager was pulled out of his mother's Kia Sportage on Feb. 22.

The 17-year-old was parked at the St. Ignatius lot on W. 30th and Lorain. He was sitting in the car after lacrosse tryouts, according to police reports. He was sending an email on his phone when two men approached his car. They stood next to the driver's door and ordered him to get out and give them his cell phone.

Before the teenager could respond, one of the men opened the door and ripped the boy out. They grabbed his cell phone and then got into the Kia and drove off.

The men who pulled the 17-year-old out of the car were both in their late teens or early 20s, police said. One of the suspects was about six feet tall and 190 pounds. He was wearing a dark camouflage hoodie and dark pants.

A witness to the incident said the other suspect was wearing a black hoodie with a white stripe.

Police were unable to find the Kia Sportage after the incident. The matter is still being investigated.
