Gina DeJesus is OK after being carjacked at gunpoint, police say.
DeJesus, a kidnapping survivor who recently celebrated the eighth anniversary of her escape to freedom with
Amanda Berry and
Michelle Knight (now
Lily Rose Lee), reportedly stopped on the side of the road near West 127th Street and Triskett Road. That’s when a silver sedan cut her off and wouldn’t allow her to leave. It was around 1:50 a.m. on Thursday (May 13),
DeJesus apparently told responding officers that one of two men to exit the sedan pointed a gun at her and told her to get out of the car. DeJesus got out, handed over her keys and walked away.
