NO TIPS: It was a novel approach by police: to re-enact a fatal carjacking at a Chatsworth gas station and have the event filmed by TV stations. The broadcasts would jog the memories of possible witnesses, cops thought. But a week after Devonshire Division officers staged the re-enactment, police are as bereft of leads and suspects as they were before. . . . One problem: The video was largely overshadowed by coverage on the same day of the big apartment building fire in Los Angeles.
