Car salesman robbed at gun point, police need helping finding suspect

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) - El Paso Police say an armed man stole a truck from a car salesman in West El Paso.

The police investigation found a car salesman for Car Lots LLC met with the suspect who the salesman thought was going to buy the vehicle. They met at an apartment complex at 500 Rubin in Wet El Paso on Saturday, May 10.

The suspect and the salesman, police say, test drove the 2019 black, 4-door, Chevrolet Silverado, valued at $19,800. When they returned to the apartment complex, the suspect pulled out a gun threatening the salesman and told him to get out of the truck, according to police.
