After hearing what happened to her uncle, Shawnette Brown contacted a bank and car dealership across the street from where the car jacking happened to see if their surveillance cameras recorded the incident. Unfortunately, they didn't. Just before 2:00 a.m. Wednesday, 58-year-old Landrew Bryant left Spanky's Bar at 31st and Gage. Police say three suspects, whom Bryant had spoken with at Spanky's, drove up to his car at 37th and Topeka.

The police report says one suspect showed a gun and the three men forced their way into Bryant's car, made him drive to another location and then beat him unconscious. "You shouldn't roll down your window or open your door to them," says Sgt. Ron Gish with the Topeka Police Department, "that's the last barricade between you and those people."
Bryant told police the suspects made off with cash, jewelry and even the clothes he was wearing. His 2002 Cadillac Escallade was recovered back at 37th and Topeka.

Bryant's family would not talk on camera, but did say they think the suspects were trying to kill him. Police are looking for a motive. "If they're not keeping the car, they obviously didn't find it was of value to them," Gish says, "that information and their frame of mind are what we don't know, what they were after; obviously it wasn't the car." Police are looking for three black males, in their 30s, one, 6'2'', 385 lbs., the second 6', 220lbs. and the third 5'10'', 190 lbs. Police say at least one has a handgun. If you have any information, call Crimestoppers at 234-0007. Police continue the investigation and Bryant's family tells 13 News he's still recovering, physically and emotionally.
