WASHINGTON D.C. – The Washington, D.C. Metro Police Carjacking Task Force is actively seeking assistance from the public in identifying and locating a suspect involved in a carjacking, robbery, and kidnapping incident. This alarming crime took place in the 400 block of K Street, Northwest, on the evening of January 9th.
The incident began when the suspect deliberately maneuvered their vehicle to block the victim’s path, forcing him to stop. The suspect then exited their car and approached the victim, who was still inside his car. Upon the victim rolling down his window, the suspect forcefully took the victim’s phone and assaulted him. In a further disturbing turn of events, the suspect coerced the victim into moving to the passenger seat and then proceeded to drive the car. The victim was taken to an ATM where he was forced to withdraw money.
After the ATM visit, the suspect drove the victim to an undisclosed location and left him there, fleeing the scene in the victim’s vehicle. The victim’s car is described as a 2023 white Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, bearing Maryland license plates 3FJ4177. The vehicle is noted to have a damaged driver’s side rearview mirror.
The suspect and the stolen vehicle were both captured on surveillance cameras. The Metropolitan Police Department urges anyone with information regarding this suspect’s identity or the vehicle’s whereabouts to come forward. They emphasize that individuals should not approach or attempt to apprehend the suspect themselves but should immediately contact the police at (202) 727-9099.
