MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WREG) — A reporter with Nexstar’s WREG News Channel 3 in Memphis, Tennessee, was carjacked at gunpoint at a gas station Tuesday morning.

It happened at a 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.

WREG managed to get 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.
