A carjacking defendant accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian on Oct. 3rd.
Kevin Weaver Jr., 32, was originally charged with unarmed carjacking of a taxicab driver, kidnapping of a senior citizen, and threat to kidnap or injure a person for his involvement in a carjacking that occurred on Sept. 10, 2023, at the intersection of 7th and Monroe Streets, NE. No individuals were harmed.
During the hearing, Weaver’s defense attorney, Jay Mykytiuk, informed the court that Weaver would plead guilty to kidnapping and threat to kidnap or injure a person, in exchange for a dismissal of all other charges.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Dec. 10 for sentencing.
