Berkeley cops are scrambling to track down a woman who brazenly carjacked a man at gunpoint, right as he was chilling in his gold 2022 Chevy Malibu, scarfing down some Mickey D’s. Talk about rotten luck. The guy had just grabbed a stack of burgers—even picked up extras to hand out to folks down on their luck—when things went sideways late Thursday night near Eighth and Gilman.
He’d barely finished passing out the free meals before pulling over to eat his own. Then, bam. A woman decked out in dark clothes stormed up, shoved a gun in his face, and demanded his wheels. Before he could blink, she peeled off, leaving him in the dust.
The shaken victim managed to flag down a cop near San Pablo Avenue, and the hunt was on. Cue the Flock license plate cameras: cops traced the stolen Malibu as it rolled into Emeryville. Officers there spotted it parked behind a pair of rundown RVs on Union Street, with a woman matching the suspect’s description lurking nearby.
But just as they moved in, she vanished like smoke. Backup arrived, but not before tense moments where officers swore they heard the unmistakable click-clack of a gun being chambered. Nope. Not taking chances. They grabbed a warrant, rolled in drones from Emeryville and Oakland, and prepped for a full-blown sweep.
The Berkeley Special Response Team stormed the RV… only to find it empty. Total ghost town. The suspect—Hispanic, maybe in her 40s or 50s, black hair tied back, missing a few front teeth—is still in the wind. Cops aren’t giving up, but for now, she’s slipped through their fingers.
