Not old enough to hold a driver’s license, the boy was arrested and charged Thursday in connection to nine crimes over a six-week period in March and April. D.C. police say other people were involved in a number of the crimes. The name of the boy, a Southeast D.C. resident, was not released.
On one night in April, the boy and others are accused of flashing a gun at three sets of victims within 13 minutes and making off with two vehicles.
“He’s 12? Lord have mercy. We’ve gotta just find some things for them to do. Gun violence — no good,” a woman said where one of the crimes occurred.
Here’s what the Metropolitan Police Department says happened:
March 21, about 5 p.m.: The boy allegedly got out of a vehicle driven by someone else, approached someone in the 2300 block of Elvans Road SE and tried to take something from them. He assaulted the victim but did not take anything, police said.
April 16, about 10:30 p.m.: Multiple people approached someone getting into her vehicle in the 1700 block of Gainesville Street SE, brandished a handgun and ordered her to get out, police say. She complied and they took her vehicle.
