A jury found Michael Hollie guilty of armed robbery, hijacking a vehicle, kidnaping, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and aggravated assault. In his sole enumeration of error, he claims the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress the victim’s out-of-court identification of him as the person who committed the crimes. Finding no error, we affirm. When reviewing the denial of a motion to suppress, we construe the evidence presented both at the suppression hearing and at trial in a light favorable to upholding the trial court’s findings and judgment.1 So viewed, the evidence shows that a taxicab driver was working at about 11:00 at night when he was dispatched to pick up a passenger. When he arrived at the designated location, two young men and a young woman entered the cab. After the driver traveled a short distance, someone hit him in the back of the head with what he assumed was a gun, told him he was being robbed, demanded his money, and ordered him to get out of the car. When the car door opened, the car’s interior light came on. There were also two streetlights on in the area. As the victim got out of the car, he saw that one of the men was holding a gun. The victim was able to see that man’s face. The man then held a gun to the victim’s head, while the other man searched the victim’s pockets and took his wallet and cash. The victim focused his attention on the person holding the gun.
One of the men ordered the victim to get into the trunk. When the trunk opened, the trunk light came on. The men drove the car around for several hours with the victim in the trunk. They stopped the car several times, and checked on the victim. Using tools he had in the trunk, the victim was eventually able to open the trunk and escape while the car was moving.
