So, check this out, folks! A gutsy Chicago woman in her 40s and her brave co-worker narrowly escaped a terrifying carjacking attempt in the wee hours of December 27th. This wild ride went down on the West Side near West Garfield Park, and let’s just say it was a scene straight out of an action movie!
Here’s the scoop: Jaquita Sims had a flat tire, and her co-worker, a seasoned 65-year-old, swooped in like a hero to scoop her up from her disabled ride. According to reports, Jaquita was on her way to O’Hare International Airport, probably minding her own business and being a productive member of society, when all this chaos unfolded.

Now, Janice Sims, Jaquita’s mom, spilled the beans to CBS News about the aftermath of this craziness. She raved about how her daughter miraculously dodged a bunch of bullets and only got hit once. I mean, come on, that’s some divine protection right there! Janice even gave a big ol’ shoutout to the man upstairs for watching over her little girl. Can I get an amen?
So, picture this: four shady characters roll up on Jaquita and her co-worker at 4:40 in the morning, flashing their weapons and demanding they bail out of the vehicle. I mean, who do these guys think they are, right? But hold on to your hats, because here’s where the showdown begins!
Jaquita’s co-worker whips out his own trusty sidearm and starts busting caps, emptying all five rounds to fend off these troublemakers. And get this, the hoodlums let loose at least twenty shots into the car. It’s like a real-life action flick, folks!
But wait, there’s more! The crooks high-tail it out of there, but not before Jaquita takes a gut shot and her co-worker catches a grazing injury. Talk about a close call! The co-worker, in a true display of heroism, hauls their wounded selves to a nearby hospital. That’s what I call a ride or die, folks!
Now, the Chicago Police are chiming in with their two cents, saying the assailants fired back only after the co-worker missed his mark. But hold your horses, because Jaquita ain’t buying it! She’s telling anyone who will listen that these baddies opened fire the moment her co-worker pulled out his piece. And get this, the guy’s got the proper licenses for his concealed carry. So, you tell me who’s in the right here!
Fast forward to now, and poor Jaquita’s got a bullet chillin’ in her chest like it’s on vacation! The doctors can’t fish it out without causing more damage, so she’s stuck playing host to an unwelcome metal guest. And let’s not forget the emotional toll this wild ride has taken. She’s having flashbacks, needing help to do basically anything, and can’t even use her right arm. It’s a real mess, folks.
But here’s the kicker, Jaquita’s co-worker is holding up alright, just a bit rattled and scared of heading back to work. I mean, can you blame the guy? After all this, who wouldn’t be a little spooked?
So, there you have it, folks! Another day in the life of brave citizens standing up against crime. It’s like a real-life action movie, and these two are the stars of the show!
