One person is in custody and a second is being sought after Sacramento police stopped a car earlier today that was involved in a carjacking Wednesday afternoon, police department spokesman Sgt. Norm Leong said.
Police are in the area of Stockton Boulevard and Elder Creek Road in south Sacramento searching for a man who ran from the vehicle, Leong said. An officer spotted the vehicle, a boxy Mercedes, and identified it as a vehicle that had been stolen Wednesday, Leong said.
When police approached the car, its two occupants ran, Leong said. One was taken into custody and the second remains at large, he said. He is described as a black male wearing a red jacket and dark pants.
The suspects are wanted in connection with a carjacking in the 5900 block of Stockton Boulevard on Wednesday afternoon, Leong said.
Police logs show that the victim of the carjacking picked up two subjects, one of whom she knew, and drove them to that location. The subject she knew then pointed a gun at her, and she ran from the car. The suspects, both black male adults, fled in the victim's car.
It is unknown if the suspect currently being searched for is armed, and officers are conducting their search as if he is, Leong said.
