The vehicle the suspects drove off in a black 2006 BMW 325i with a California license plate number 5PLR682. The car has two red racing stripes on the hood.
The suspects fled out the parking lot onto Railroad Avenue. CHP located the vehicle on I-580 and initiated a pursuit, but lost the vehicle in Oakland.
"These types of incidents don't happen in Livermore. It sounds like these two were the intended target," a detective said.
