A 79-year-old man was fatally injured during a brutal carjacking in Norco when the perpetrator forcibly took his SUV. The crime occurred at an ARCO gas station, where the victim was cleaning his vehicle. Witnesses described how the thief sped away, dragging the victim who was partially inside the car. After being ejected, the victim succumbed to his injuries later at the hospital. Authorities located the suspect, Ryan Hewitt, shortly after the incident, and he was arrested on charges of carjacking and murder, with no additional suspects involved.
