WASHINGTON — Two teenage girls have been charged with the botched carjacking and killing of an Uber Eats driver in Washington, D.C.
Metropolitan police officials have charged the girls, ages 13 and 15, with felony murder and armed carjacking, according to a news release. The girls were reportedly armed with a Taser when they attempted to steal the vehicle belonging to Mohammad Anwar, 66, of Springfield, Virginia.
Police officers were called around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday to the 1200 block of Van Street Southeast, a block from Nationals Park, for a car crash. There, they found Anwar, who had been thrown from his overturned Honda Accord and was suffering life-threatening injuries.
Anwar was rushed to a hospital.
“After all lifesaving efforts failed, the victim was pronounced dead,” the news release said.
