The violent carjacking occurred in Burien on March 22, when reports of the two teenagers stealing a car at the Arco Gas Station located on SW 136th Street and Ambaum Blvd SW came in. The teenage suspects allegedly pistol-whipped the victim of the carjacking and dragged him as they drove away in the vehicle.
