WASHINGTON D.C. – Perry Lee Jennings, 36, from Washington D.C., has been arrested for his involvement in an armed carjacking that occurred on December 4, 2023, on New Hampshire Avenue. Responding to a call at around 7:08 p.m., officers arrived at the 10200 block of New Hampshire Ave., where an adult female had been assaulted and robbed of her 2021 Audi Q5.
The victim, who was attacked after pumping gas, reported a physical altercation with an unknown assailant who tried to take her vehicle. During the struggle, she was thrown to the ground and saw one suspect brandishing a handgun. The second suspect then entered the passenger seat, and both fled in the stolen vehicle.

Jennings faces charges of armed carjacking, armed robbery, and assault, and is detained without bond. Additionally, he has an outstanding warrant from the U.S. Marshals Service on a separate case.
