The complainant stated that after getting his daughters luggage and while getting back into his vehicle, he was approached by an unknown male, who suddenly punched him in the face while attempting to get into the driver’s seat of his vehicle.

The suspect then got into the complainant’s 2023 white Hyundai Palisade and fled the location. The complainants vehicle was located three days later, abandoned, in Jennings, Louisiana.
