An 80-year-old man was the victim of a carjacking in the parking lot of a grocery store in Lincoln Park Friday morning, officials confirmed.
San Diego police said an unknown suspect stole the elderly man’s vehicle at around 8:40 a.m. in the parking lot of a Food4Less store in the 300 block of Euclid Avenue.
The victim was parking and had kept the engine running. His window was down when an unknown man walked up to the car, put a solid object simulating a weapon to the back of his head and ordered the victim to get out.
The suspect then hopped into the 2013 Black Ford Edge and took off. He was last seen driving eastbound on Euclid Avenue.
Police said the elderly victim was not injured in the carjacking. The suspect is described as a short-haired Hispanic man between 20 and 30 years old, standing at approximately 5-foot-6 with a stocky build. No clothing description was released.
The investigation is ongoing.
