A carjacking defendant pled guilty to robbery and unlicensed use of a vehicle in front of DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer DiToro on Dec. 3.
Vincent Jones, 29, was originally charged with carjacking, two counts of possession of firearm during a crime of violence, and robbery while armed for his involvement in an armed carjacking on the 3900 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE on June 16, 2023, no one was injured.
The remaining charges, which were possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and robbery while armed, were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
The prosecution argued that Jones, with two accomplices, stole car keys from a victim and took the car which was nearby without any justification.
Jones asserted that he was comfortable with the decision he was making, and he felt that he received sufficient advice from his defense attorney, Peter Odom.
Judge Demeo ordered a pre-sentencing report, and parties will reconvene for sentencing on Feb. 4.
