PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. -- Pembroke Pines police said a would-be robber tangled with the wrong woman Monday.
Investigators said Felecia Moss, 34, was followed when she drove her Lexus into her gated community. When she arrived at her home, a man who was driving a blue Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera pulled up and approached Moss as she got out of her car.
Moss said the man, who had a gun, demanded money from her. But when she showed him her empty wallet, he grabbed a cellular phone from her purse.
Moss then pulled out a 9mm Heckler and Koch semi-automatic handgun. The man scuffled with Moss, trying to get the gun. Without being able to get the gun, the man took off running.
Moss fired three shots at the man, and fearing he would return for his getaway car, she shot the tire out on the vehicle.
Police said the man ran into Rainbow Lakes Development where he carjacked Shirley Michaan's silver 2004 Toyota Sienna Van.
Police said the van is still missing. It has the Florida license F47LCN.
The Ciera the man was driving was carjacked in Miramar on Oct. 11.
The man is described as in his early-20s, around 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing around 150 pounds, with a thin build, dark skin and a mustache. He was wearing a white T-shirt, dark-colored jean shorts, white sneakers and a black skull cap. He had no accent, police said.
Anyone with information about this incident or the stolen van is asked to call the Pembroke Pines Police Department at (954) 431-2200 or CrimeStoppers at (954) 493-TIPS.
