Klaus learned Green and a co-worker were sitting inside the car when the duo approached them.

According to police, the man opened the passenger door and demanded at gunpoint the coworker's items before he ordered her to exit the car. Police said the woman stood with her as the man searched for the victim's wallet and phone.

The co-worker was able to escape and flee the scene, but she heard three gunshots fired. Green was pushed out of the car as the man and woman took off, police said.

Anyone who sees the suspects or the 2016 Honda Accord are urged to call 911.
