WASHINGTON, DC – A 16-year-old male has been arrested in connection with an armed carjacking that occurred last summer in the 2700 block of 31st Street, Southeast.
The incident took place on a Tuesday evening in August, when three suspects allegedly approached a victim seated in their vehicle. One of the suspects brandished a gun and demanded the victim’s belongings and vehicle. The victim complied, and the suspects fled the scene in the stolen vehicle.
Following a search warrant executed on Wednesday in Southeast, officers arrested the juvenile suspect, charging him with armed carjacking, possession of an unregistered firearm, and receiving stolen property. Detectives continue to investigate the case and encourage anyone with information to contact police at (202) 727-9099 or submit a tip anonymously through the TEXT TIP LINE at 50411.
