Carjackers threaten to kill 3-year-old girl over Jaguar, mom says

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis mom says a group of armed carjackers threatened to kill her 3-year-old daughter if she didn’t give up her Jaguar Friday night.

Donnii’ Watkins said she had just pulled into a parking spot at her sister’s apartment complex off Knight Arnold in Hickory Hill when she was ambushed by several men in ski masks who began beating on her SUV with guns and told her to get out of the vehicle.

“I wasn’t even in a parking spot for thirty seconds. My car wasn’t even in park yet,” said Watkins. “I was like, I’m not getting out of my vehicle.”

Watkins said the carjackers had already blocked her vehicle in with another car, and when she refused to give up her Jaguar, they turned their attention toward her daughter.

“I was trying to stay calm, and the guy that was on the passenger side grabbed the door open, and three of them were in the inside, and they were pointing the gun at my baby, and they were like, ‘If you don’t get out of the car, we’re going to kill your baby,'” Watkins said. “I was like, ‘Okay. I’ll leave everything. I just want my baby.'”

“They grabbed her and put the gun up to her. She was like, ‘Mommy, I’m scared,'” she said.

The six carjackers got away with her purse, house keys, credit cards, and glasses. Watkins said they were later spotted joyriding in her SUV. She said the suspects were still wearing the masks and hanging out of the windows with guns.

Monday, Watkins learned from WREG that her Jaguar was recovered a day later in the 1500 block of East Dempster in South Memphis. Police said the vehicle did not appear to be damaged.

No comment needed any more. If folks can’t learn from the hundreds of examples like this what they need to do, they are beyond help.

So a mother, probably, single, probably on food stamps & WIC, drives a Jaguar.

With “a guy” passenger, who opens the car door, so these thugs…in an apartment complex parking lot, can hold their pistols up to a 3 year old child, to steal the car.

🙃

Do you actually know anything about the mom? Give us details if you actually know something. I’ve known single moms who drive nice cars, and they’re not on food stamps.

Shouldn't that be "East Dumpster"? In any event, the Jaguar probably broke down.

Any suggestions on what you would have done? I carry, but I am not sure if I could eliminate more than one or two. Perhaps that would be enough, but if you had another person in the car (like the little girl), would you risk it? Any suggestions?

Must have been. There is a facebook page that looks like it may be the victims, name, city, 3 year old girl pics. Memphis seems like a very violent city to live in.

Mine used to....until I changed the settings.

She mentioned she “hadn’t even put the car in park”.

Mogadishu on the Mississippi.
