The Metropolitan Police Department did not have any victims confirmed when asked by the Washington Examiner but did confirm a report of “an armed carjacking” coming in “at approximately 9:32 pm at the intersection of New Jersey and K Street” in Southeast Washington.
A subsequent alert from the police department said the vehicle was a white Honda C-HR with a Texas license plate. The suspects are “three black males wearing all black clothing.” Authorities advise calling 911 rather than engaging with the suspects if spotted.
