It looked like the guy came up on her really fast maybe gave a blow to the head or karate chop. Criminals have the element of surprise, even if you have a gun, knife or mace, they have a huge advantage. It looked like she put her items in the passenger side of car and decided to walk around the back to go to drivers side. Then the guy runs up to her really fast. I always take my items with me to the drivers side and have the key ready. I don’t bother opening my trunk or backseat. I get in, lock the door and toss whatever it is in the back. Many robberies happen in parking lots. They sit and wait, come out of nowhere, and work in teams.
They should get this guys photo out to the public television and internet so he can be found ASAP before he does something else.
It was a blitz attack. There was very little Kelsey could have done to fight him off. She was small and thin. She was taken completely by surprise. If only some passerby had seen it happening and got involved.
So sad.
