Michele Pettiford and her 12-year-old daughter were returning to their Chicago home from volleyball practice last week when two men ran up to them and demanded the keys to the family’s car. In a video captured by surveillance cameras on Nov. 2, Pettiford is heard yelling 'they're in my purse' as she is held at gunpoint and thrown to the ground. Her daughter ran inside screaming, and dialed 911 once she got upstairs.
' It's, 'Let's turn around and potentially shoot this person.'' The Chicago Police Department said they recovered the car in South Crandon on Wednesday, around 8 miles from the Pettifords' Beverly property. A 24-year-old woman was placed into custody for misdemeanor trespassing after she was found inside the car. Police said they are still looking for the two suspects.
