Kidnapping a women clerk in Exposition Park, Jose Eduardo Gaxiola Caro (29), was arrested and charged with a host of felonies and faces life in prison. Caro kidnapped his 28 years old victim on Wednesday afternoon at 2:50 P.M. He also brought a hammer to support his crime.

Caro tugged his victim by her arm when she tried to pull away. Outside the store, the woman tried to fight back since Caro pushed her forcefully into the passenger seat of his red Honda Civic. After that, he drove off South on Denker Avenue. However, the victim managed to escape. She was taken to a hospital for receiving medical evaluation, after she was found at a cemetery in North Hollywood. Related to the crime that he has done, he was charged with attempted premeditated murder, kidnapping to commit rape, assault with intent to commit rape, assault with a deadly weapon, and he also accused of using a knife and a hammer in the crime.

We do not know the reason of the crime. But, in my opinion, Caro has received the worth punishments. If the woman had not managed to escape from Caro’s car, she would not be safe right now.
