 Slain
man likely carjack victim
By Chris Conley conley@gomemphis.com January 3, 2003 A New Jersey man, found fatally shot behind an abandoned building near downtown Thursday, likely is the same man who reported being carjacked hours earlier, according to police. Daniel Ross, 44, was lying next to a silver 2002 Buick Century rental car in back of 351 Hernando when police found him just before noon. Dispatchers had received a 911 emergency call just after 5 a.m. from a man who said he had been carjacked. The caller said he believed he was in the area of Danny Thomas and Linden, police spokesman Officer LaTanya Able said. Police saturated the area throughout the morning. After a search of more than six hours, they discovered the slain man behind the building several blocks to the west. It was unclear whether the victim used a cell phone or land line, Able said, or whether he had been robbed. Detectives late Thursday were trying to retrace Ross's movements overnight, said homicide Maj. Mike Quinn. Ross, who was visiting relatives, planned to return to New Jersey on Sunday, police said. - Chris Conley: 529-2595
