Keith Claverie works in the building, which houses Automotive Experts, Textures Warehouse and Skyline Contractors. He told WDSU that the carjacking is just the latest crime to be committed in the area.
"(It's) not surprising because this happens regularly in this area, not so much the carjacking but thefts, break-ins of cars and so forth," said Claverie. "It's really got to come to an end some kind of way."
The two women were standing outside their vehicle when the suspects pulled up in a maroon SUV.
A man in a red hoodie exits the passenger side of the SUV pointing a gun at the victims.
When the victims would not comply, another man in a white tank top and red pants exits the back of the SUV and snatches the keys from one of the women.
The suspects drove away in the women's car followed by the SUV.
The women tried to get pictures of the license plate while both cars drove away.
This is the 176th carjacking in New Orleans this year.
