A 24-year-old man was carjacked in Gravois Park yesterday evening, according to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. The incident occurred just after 5:30 p.m. in the 3500 block of Tennessee, when the victim was approached by an armed assailant after parking his 2025 Volkswagen Jetta.
According to a statement from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, the victim was gathering his belongings when a masked suspect approached, brandishing a dark-colored gun.
