MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WREG) — A WREG News Channel 3 reporter was carjacked at gunpoint at a gas station Tuesday morning.

It happened around 10:30 a.m. at the Mobil gas station at E.H. Crump Boulevard and Third Street, on a busy corner just about a mile east of WREG’s studio and offices.

A man approached reporter Mike Suriani while he was on assignment and demanded his news vehicle, a white 2016 Toyota RAV4.

Suriani said he was at a gas pump and got out of the vehicle when a man wearing a mask approached from the sidewalk and shouted to give him the car keys. The man had his hand on a gun that was sticking out of his pocket.

Suriani handed over the keys and the man drove off southbound on Third Street.

The reporter was unhurt.

A WREG reporter obtained surveillance video of the incident.

The suspect got away with the Toyota with camera gear inside. There was not a WREG logo on the side, but the number 19 is on the bottom right bumper of the vehicle. The tag number is BHM 6360.

Police described the suspect as a male with a dark complexion, possibly 6 feet tall, wearing a black head scarf, white jacket, gray shirt and black pants.
