The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying and locating suspects in connection to a carjacking and unlawful discharge of a firearm.

According to MPD documents, on Jan. 13, three suspects approached a victim who was sitting in his vehicle on the 3000 block of Idaho Avenue, NW. The suspects, all armed with handguns, demanded the victim get out of the vehicle. When he complied, the suspects took property from him and fled the scene in his vehicle.

On Feb. 3, officers responded to the 3400 block of 25th Street, SE, for the report of sounds of gunshots. A crime scene was located, and no victims were found.

The suspects and the victim’s vehicle, a 2012 Kia Sorento, were captured by surveillance cameras.

MPD offers a reward to anyone that provides information which leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for each violent crime in the District.
