A carjacking defendant was convicted on two counts in a case involving his transgender ex-girlfriend following a jury trial before DC Superior Court Judge Carmen McLean on March 5.
Nicolas Delgado, 31, was originally charged with kidnapping, unarmed carjacking, two counts of first-degree theft, two counts of robbery, second degree theft, misdemeanor attempted credit card fraud, threat to kidnap or injure a person, bias-related simple assault and simple assault for his alleged involvement in an incident that occurred July 8, 2020 on the 5000 block of Connecticut Ave, NW.
Throughout the trial, prosecutors attempted to prove that Delgado assaulted, kidnapped, and robbed his transgender ex-girlfriend believing she was cheating on him.
Following jury deliberations, Delgado was convicted on one count of first-degree theft and one count of threat to kidnap or injure a person.
The case has been continued for sentencing and a pre-sentence investigation was ordered. Delgado will remain out on his own recognizance pending sentencing.
Sentencing is set for May 16.
