FACTS

CARJACKING (COUNT FOUR)

On July 23, 2023, around 8:05 p.m., Hasiba Munshi was sitting alone in her mother’s 2019 black Porsche Cayenne, parked outside a department store in Montebello. She was parked “head in.” At that time, a silver 4–door vehicle with tinted windows backed in next to her on the driver’s side, making her uneasy. A female passenger got out of the front passenger seat, fumbled around in the trunk, made eye contact with Munshi, then returned to the passenger seat and the vehicle departed. Munshi saw the woman from less than a car length away and described her as Hispanic, five foot six or seven, on the tanner side, around 180-200 pounds, with reddish brown hair. Around 10 or 15 minutes later, the same silver car backed in again. The woman Munshi had seen earlier was no longer in the front passenger seat. A man got out from the front passenger side wearing a black ski mask. A second man wearing a ski mask and “on the heavier side” got out of the rear driver’s side of the car. The second man put what appeared to be a gun to the window of Munshi’s car and the window crumbled and shattered.
