Police have made an arrest in the carjacking that happened in the parking garage of the Capitol Hill Safeway (415 14th St. SE) around Halloween.
At around 6:20 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2024, two suspects approached the victim inside of the parking garage. Pointing a handgun at the victim, one of the suspects demanded the car keys.
The suspects then escaped in the victim’s car, followed by another vehicle –a white 2019 Audi Q7 with Virginia tag 2687EB.
The case caused a stir after photos circulated on social media, purporting to show a very young person in the enger seat of one vehicle used in the crime, pointing a handgun at the photographer.
