He had contacted one of the two suspects, a 17-year old teenage girl, online and took her out on a date at around 9:30 p.m. He wanted to play the gentleman all the way, so he picked her up from an established location, in his Mercedes-Benz C300 and drove for half a mile before parking in the vicinity of a school, where the girl invited him inside her apartment.
He agreed, got off the car and went on to the passenger side to help her out. She specifically needed assistance, since she had a cast around her ankle. It was the moment when a man wearing a red face mask showed up out of nowhere, pointing a massive knife at the 21-year old and asking for his car keys, a police officer tells.
