WASHINGTON — A teenager is facing charges after police say they helped carjack an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) at the end of November.
On November 28, Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers were called to the 100 block of 12th Street, NE for reports of an armed carjacking in the area at 3:45 p.m. When officers arrived, they located the victim, a federal agent who told officers two suspects had taken her car.
Court documents show that 17-year-old Devonta Lynch was named as a suspect after MPD received an anonymous tip and reviewed surveillance video.
On Monday, MPD served a search warrant on Lynch's home and seized a pair of black Nike boots, a tan rifle-style paintball gun, a handgun magazine, and two 50-count boxes of Hornady 9mm live rounds of ammunition.
The court documents go further into detail about what happened on the day of the reported carjacking. The FBI agent told police she had just parked and was standing next to the car, with the door open, when she was knocked to the ground.
The agent says she remembers being on her back and looking up to see "a man pointing a handgun at her," the court documents read. The agent says the carjackers then demanded her keys and cell phone. The agent handed both items over and the two suspects drove away in her car. The vehicle was later recovered in the 1000 block of 15th Street, SE.
Lynch was arrested on Monday and is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 11. He is being charged as an adult with armed carjacking.
