I'm not buying the story. Picking up one stranger, iffy, but I can see it. Picking up one, then driving and picking up another!? frick no. I guarantee you the kid was buying drugs when the car jacking happened. Guarantee it. Oldest trick in the book. Guy comes looking for dope, one guy tells him I'll take you to my dope man's house, just give me a ride and I'll show you. Dope man says give me a ride around the corner to the trap house. I don't keep the drugs on me. Then rob them in the car.

This sounds correct.

Who in their right mind would drive to pick up someone's friend on Airline and Plank to give them a ride if you didn't know either of the people? Couldn't the police immediately be taken to the broken down vehicle or given the plates and track it to the owner? This story doesn't add up. Carmelo was probably trying to buy drugs and the guy said they had to meet someone else to get them. Once they picked up that guy he pulled out a gun and they robbed him and stole his car. He probably had to have this story so he didn't get in trouble yet still had a police report for insurance.

Says Dick Tracy.

Did you see a picture of the kid?

It doesn't look like a stretch that he was buying drugs

In meridian a guy is approached at McDonald's by a white guy who has truck problems. The guy walks across lot to take a look, three black guys hop out and rob him, take wallet, cell phone, and car from him.

Multi racial thug gang.

No way of knowing who your robber will be anymore.

I just tell them I will call cops for them.

PoPos are always helpful to robbers.
