The thief broke the window with a rock, told the children to grab the baby and get out, and stole the vehicle.
Jada Hicks left her 10-year-old son, 8-year-old daughter, and baby girl in her locked Jeep as she went into the Citgo near Fenkell and Meyers, a few blocks from her house. While she was inside the gas station, a man broke the Jeep's window with a rock and ordered the children out.
"He said, ‘Get the baby in the car seat and get out of the car now,’" Hicks said. "The whole entire time my son was, 'Mommy, I don't want to die.'""I thank you for letting my kids out of the car because not even a full year ago I lost a child. So, I'm thankful he let my babies out of the car," Hicks said."My 1-year-old is fresh off of oxygen, so she has a ton of doctor's appointments a week," she said.
Detroit police recently recovered the stolen Jeep, so Hicks will be getting it back Friday. The suspect was arrested and is expected to face charges.
