I was driving down the road and everything was fine and it just shut off pulling up to red light. I thought maybe ran out of gas so I put like 5 gallons in and still not turning on but turns over. I need to get this car out of someone's property where it shut off so any ideas would be great.

Very possible that it could have a broken timing belt. To verify this easily you can loosen the bolts that hold on the upper timing cover and have someone crank the engine while you look for movement of the belt and pulleys. There should be 6 bolts that hold the upper cover on. I have included a blowup view of all of the timing belt components.
