Columbus Declares War On The Kia Boyz!

Ohio mom dies from carjacking. 

The U.S. Justice Department is about to get involved in curbing the Kia/Hyundai challenge if the car manufacturers refuse to install barriers to stop auto theft.

Suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

I was a victim of a car break in not a car theft. I drive a Kia vehicle and the Kia Boyz struck. The suspects broke the window and tried to break into the ignition. Luckly, I have a push button and it requires a key fob to start the vehicle.

However, the suspects stole property. 

They done it twice to my vehicle.

My insurance provider Allstate has increase the rates of my vehicle. They have pushed a 10% rise in my coverage thanks to the challenge. Kia and Hyundai said they only offered vehicles that require keys to start ignitions an upgrade. It failed.

The companies offered free wheel locks, but somehow it didn't work.

When Kia and Hyundai offered a settlement to victims, the U.S. federal courts delayed it.

They offered stickers and detriment instruments. None of them worked.

TikTok, X and YouTube have failed to pull videos of how they steal vehicles.

Many of the local junk food media told stories of stolen Kia and Hyundai vehicles causing serious accidents. In Philadelphia, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, some incidents this year were deadly.

The Columbus Division of Police are declaring war on repeat offenders and are pushing for offenders to be charged as adults if they are committing serious injury or death while in these vehicles. This vehicle was a Honda CR-V, a vehicle that is on the list of most stolen vehicles in the United States. That ranks No. 5 on theft.

Columbus Police release the diagram of the car's path and the suspects' path.

A woman who made a fatal mistake of leaving her vehicle running with a small child inside died as two suspects tried to steal her vehicle. 

The woman was picking up her 6 year old son from a babysitter on Columbus' Southeast neighborhoods. The woman left the vehicle running for a less than five minute grab while her child was sleeping.

Columbus Police Sgt. Joe Albert said the incident happened in a condominium complex near Gender Road just before 1:30 a.m.

Albert said the mother, identified by police as 29-year-old Alexa Stakely, was at the complex picking up her 6-year-old son from a babysitter. Stakely put the sleeping child in her Honda CR-V, which was left running.

She went back to pick up something from the babysitter when Albert said at least one suspect got inside the SUV and began driving away.

Albert said she got on the vehicle's hood, yelling for the driver to stop. The vehicle was driving erratically through the complex while she was still on the hood.

These idiots will face karma.

Stakely fell off the hood and sustained critical injuries, according to Albert. At some point, the driver stopped and abandoned the vehicle.

She was taken to Mount Carmel East Hospital where she later died. Officers found the SUV in the apartment complex with the 6-year-old boy unharmed and still asleep.

Police say two males were seen running past Stakely while she was lying in the middle of the road. They ran north and were seen jumping a fence before disappearing into a neighboring apartment complex.

Earlier in the morning, police say surveillance video caught a group of males looking into apartments in the area of Castenea Way. When confronted, the males ran eastbound. Two of the males matched the description of the males who ran past Stakely.

Canal Winchester Schools released a statement saying Stakely was a speech-language pathologist in the district.

The suspects are still on the loose. If caught, they face kidnapping, vehicular homicide, receiving stolen property and reckless endangerment. If they are juveniles between the age of 14 to 18, they could be charged as adults.
