An unnamed motorist at a gas station in Elmwood Park, Illinois, shot and killed a would-be carjacker in early April, the whole event being caught on the station’s security cameras. However, police say the motorist acted in self defence and will not be charged for the incident.
The incident occured at the BP gas station on Grand Avenue in Elmwood Park on April 8, at 4:52pm. Police believe that Ronald Morales, 43, made eye contact with the motorist who was pumping gas at the time, exited the store at the gas station, walked over to the car and pulled out his gun. By the time Morales was near the car, the motorist was already back in the car.
Morales wasn’t going to let that stop him, but matters would have worked out a lot better for him if he had. He continued his approach, opened the passenger-side door before closing it again and began to speak to the motorist inside the car through an open window, a move the man inside took as more than just a little threatening.
