LOS ANGELES : Car Stolen During Fatal Carjacking Recovered
Los Angeles police said Friday that officers had recovered a car stolen from a Chatsworth man who was shot to death during a carjacking at a gas station near his home Monday.
The gold, 1989 Mercedes-Benz sedan belonged to Naghi Ghoraishy, 74, who was shot in the head when he apparently resisted a gun-wielding robber, police said. Police found the car parked on Allott Avenue at Roscoe Boulevard in Van Nuys just before 11 p.m. Thursday, Detective Ken Crocker said. The car is being examined for fingerprints or other clues.
The owner of a nearby business called police Thursday night after she noticed the car had not been moved since she first saw it Tuesday morning.
