Suspects sought in armed carjacking and robbery cases in DC

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Two suspects are being sought in connection with a pair of armed crimes that occurred hours apart earlier this month in the District, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

On Sunday, May 4, at approximately 3:25 a.m., officers from the Third District responded to the 1900 block of 12th Street NW for a report of an armed carjacking. Police said the suspects approached the victim inside a vehicle, struck them with a handgun, then stole the car and fled the scene.

Later that same morning, around 6:05 a.m., Fifth District officers responded to a robbery in the 1600 block of Benning Road NE. Investigators said the same suspects approached a second victim, brandished a handgun, and demanded money before fleeing on foot with stolen property.
