Three people were arrested in connection to an armed carjacking in a Cal State San Bernardino campus parking lot following a short pursuit Tuesday morning. Julio Cesar De La Luz, 20, Tiara Reese, 18, and a female juvenile were being held in a Los Angeles County jail on several felony charges, including kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, taking a vehicle without the owner's consent and a felony warrant out of San Bernardino. De La Luz's bail was set at $100,000. Reese and the juvenile girl were not allowed bail. They were expected to be arraigned on Thursday. De La Luz is accused of trying to carjack a Cal State San Bernardino student while he was sleeping in his vehicle at about 12:15 p.m. Monday in Parking Lot G on campus. "He asked him if he wanted to buy a pair of shoes. The student declined and the man basically climbed into the car and put a gun to the student's head and forced him to drive off campus," said Joe Gutierrez, a CSUSB spokesman.
Two motorists, including a Cal State San Bernardino student, were carjacked Monday, Feb. 23.
The suspect was described as a black male age 25-35, 5-foot-10 and 180-190 pounds. He was wearing a gray hoodie shirt, black shorts and a baseball cap. He was wearing a thick gold chain necklace with a large gold medallion. He has a tattoo over his left eyebrow that possibly says “thrive.”
