Florida police have arrested Shaquille Dixon, 14, after his mother turned him in when she saw a video of a carjacking on the news
Florida police have charged a 14-year-old boy with felony carjacking after surveillance footage appears to show him carjacking an 81-year-old woman outside a Walmart.
Shaquille Dixon’s mother turned him into police after she saw a video of the carjacking on the local news.
Surveillance video from the afternoon of January 15 shows three teenagers following the victim into the store from the parking lot of the Walmart in Lauderdale Lakes, according to the Broward County Sheriff’s Department.
The three juveniles then returned to the parking lot once she had finished her shopping.
Two of them flanked the elderly woman while the third pointed a gun at her and appeared to demand her keys to her brown 2015 Toyota Corolla.
The victim complied, and the three youths fled the scene so quickly they nearly hit the woman.
‘It is really difficult for me. I turned my son in. I do not condone anything like this,’ said Dixon’s mother, Ramona Gordon to News 7 Miami.
‘When I saw it, he wasn’t aware that he was on TV. I called the police right away and had them come and get him.’
The 81-year-old woman does not want her identity revealed for fear of her safety, but is saddened the alleged criminals are so young.

‘Where are we going, where is the future for that kind of kids. Terrible,’ the elderly victim said to CBS Miami.
‘And that upset me from that moment when that happened, it upset me. But I am getting better.’
