I saw a pic of the scene and it looked like the vehicle may have had a decal on the rear window that should have warned the soon-to-be-dead guy to think twice about what he was going to do...

That said, who drives around anywhere anymore with their doors unlocked?

And did the car’s doors lock automatically after the vehicle was started?

Hope that LE and the DA conducted a thorough investigation.

You echo what I was wondering: after achieving 20 mph, the doors lock automatically. They don’t automatically UNlock when coming to a stop. Only when the engine is shut off. At least in modern cars….

I had the same question. Maybe a very old vehicle.

I used to. I enabled the automatic locks after I got my carry permit. I wanted to prevent the very scenario described above.
