CCTV shows moment good samaritan shot in carjacking after man asks him for $1
Horrifying footage of a group of men shooting a good samaritan who was asked for one dollar has been shared online by police in an attempt to identify and catch them.
Authorities in Kansas City, Missouri, released the sickening clip of the gas station incident which happened at around 10.45pm on February 22. The victim, who is now out of hospital and on the mend, handed over the cash after being approached by someone he thought was a homeless man.
Instead, two other men appear out of nowhere on the forecourt and shoot him before going through his pockets and stealing his car. It happened not far from Cleveland Avenue. Now, cops are looking for the three suspects who were caught on CCTV committing the crime. Images of them entering the stoor in dark tracksuits with their hoods up were also shared.
