| Scene of kidnapping at gunpoint at Bradenton Walmart (screenpic from video from here) |
A shopper who exited a Walmart store in Bradenton, Florida, was kidnapped by gunmen with assault rifles in the parking lot. They robbed him of his car, drove him to a neighboring Sam's Club store, stripped him down to his underwear, then dumped him several miles away.
The victim is okay, except for a slight head wound from being hit, but wasn't shot.
From an article and news video:
Deputies say it happened around 11:30 last night as the victim, Marcelo Fierro, 24 of Wimauma, walked out of the Wal-Mart after shopping. The victim says a Hispanic woman, wearing a blonde wig, pulled up in a dark colored Expedition with Texas tags asking the man for directions. When he walked up to the car, the victim says two Hispanic men with assault rifles accosted him, stole his keys and his car, and shoved him into the Expedition.
They then drove to the back of a Sam's Club across the street from Walmart and made the man strip to his underwear. According to the incident report, the suspects forced the man back into the car and drove about four to five miles to the 3900 block of 26th Avenue East.
That's when the victim says he flagged down someone driving by and called 911.
The victim had a small knot on his head according to the incident report, seemingly from the altercation, but did not go to the hospital.The suspects are also suspects in an earlier robbery.
Another Walmart Shooting had occurred at a Bradenton Walmart store (the same one?) in November, 2012, involving a law enforcement shooting of a drug suspect trying to run him over.
