A Georgia woman is lucky to be alive after a first date with a man she met over a social-networking dating site ended with her getting shot in the face and carjacked.
College Park police are on the hunt for a man who shot a woman in the face, robbed her and fled in her car, Examiner reported.
According to WSB-TV, the woman picked up the suspect she met over Badoo.com at a Days Inn motel at 12:49 a.m. Dec. 24, said Maj E.W. Strozier of the College Park Police Department.
The suspect used the name King Luciano on his dating profile, but he told the woman his name was Cash and he was from Tennessee, although police believe he is a local.
The plan was to hit up Waffle House. When they got their, Cash ran in and then back out and told her to park on the side of the restaurant in a dark area. When she said no, he ran back in and came out again saying that the food wasn’t worth $20.
The woman then began to take Cash back to the motel, but on the way he pulled out a gun and shot her in the face. He then drove away in her black 1999 Jeep Cherokee. He stole her phone and purse.
The bullet only grazed the woman’s jaw and she was released from the hospital later that day.
Crime Stoppers is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.
