Default My friend got killed..suspect driving 2nd gen GS

Last night at 2AM. My friend was driving with his girlfriend in his 2nd gen gs with 20" Lowenhart LSR's down Redondo Beach blvd in Gardena, CA. When he pulled up to a light, a black cherry 2nd gen gs with 4 african american males with rags covering their faces pulled a gun to him and told him and his girlfriend to get out of the car. They did what they ordered them to do, and right when the suspects started to drive off, they shot my friend in the head once, and hit his girlfriend in the arm. She survived(Thank god) but my buddy passed away at the scene.

Description of the vehicle.
2001-2005 lexus gs300/400/430(she said it was debadged)
Black Cherry color with 20" rims
aftermarket body kit that was badly cracked in the rear
Aftermarket Euro tail lights, clear.
African American male, about 6" tall with bald head
No right side mirror

If you see a vehicle matching the description, please call 911. Thanks guys.

sorry to hear about your friend. That's messed up that they would put a bullet in him, even after he gave them everything they wanted.

This is very unfortunately. I know that area and it can get ugly if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I'm just speechless right now...

That Is Horrible Im So Sorry For Your Loss And Im Sure All Of Our Prayers Will Be With His Family And Loved Ones. I Dont Believe They Would Shoot Someone After They Did Everything They Were Asked.. I Hope They Get Caught And Get What They Deserve But Nothing Can Bring Back A Good Friend. My Deepest Condolences

This is truly a deeply sad story. The barbarity of some people is absolutely dumbfounding.

What would you guys have done in the same situation? I can't think of anything I would have tried to get out of such a scary situation...
