Police are looking for the person who hopped into Queen Latifahs Mercedes-Benz and drove away as the actress associate filled up the luxury vehicle at a south Fulton County gas station.
The carjacking occurred just before 9:20 p.m. Dec. 20 at a Shell gas station on Fulton Industrial Boulevard, Fulton police spokeswoman Cpl. Maureen Smith said.
About that time, a white BMW pulled beside Queen Latifahs 2015 Mercedes-Benz S63. Someone got out of the BMW and jumped into the Mercedes as the associate, Keith Sheppard, was pumping gas. Queen Latifah, who is in Lee Daniels new Atlanta-produced show Star, was not in the car at the time of the carjacking.

I’m curious about the procedure...was the car running? Was the key on the front seat?
Guess that’s why the Braves left Fulton County.
Or you could take your keys out of the car while filling. People can’t just up in and drive away.
Well, that narrows it down. We're looking for a person.
Terrible to hear of such a crime.
But, I don’t know if Queen L. Is one of those liberal apologists for the criminal element. I would have less sympathy if she is such an apologist.
I don’t think I ever leave my keys in the ignition when I’m outside of the car.
Don’t know who she is. Don’t really care enough to google.
This image should illustrate all you need to know about the "queen"'s politics.
My car,like many cars made recently,has one of those keyless "start" buttons.Just today I stopped at a mailbox to mail a letter with the keyfob in my pocket and the car running.I wonder if cars like that would start with the key in close *proximity* to the car and continue to run once started.
Someday I might try an experiment...just out of curiosity.
Who is Queen Latifah and what Country is she the queen of?
RING! RING!
"Yo, Jamal, I'm gonna be fillin' up the car at that station I showed you in about 10 minutes, man. You and Leroy ready?"
"Yeah, man. Leave the keys in the ignition and just get out like you gettin' ready to pump. I'll jump in and go! You think she'll fire you?"
"Hell, no! She's loaded. She don't care!"
She’s queen of Bulldykeistan.
Well, that narrows it down. We're looking for a person.
Perhaps they should be looking for a teen. That would narrow it down even further, right?
No, I guess not.
Or you could take your keys out of the car while filling. People cant just up in and drive away.

They can if it’s a push button start and the key fob is close by.
Cars today have these fancy start systems - the keys just have to be in the car to hit the ignition button, or possibly even when just close to the car! They also won’t let you lock the keys in the car, and will open the car when you get near it.
I am a bit of a luddite - I like a car key that goes into the ignition.
In NYC, it’s a given that the keys stay in a deep pocket while you fill er up.
Witnesses say the perpetrator was Amish, about 6’2” with a long beard, suspenders, and a round straw hat.
Sounds like some high class carjacking going on. No riff raff Kia's or 15 year old Tauruses. At least that's something.
