Judge Holds Defendant Charged With Armed Carjacking

A DC Superior Court judge denied July 10 releasing a defendant charged with armed carjacking.

On April 21, Jihad Johnson allegedly forced a man to surrender his vehicle on the 1600 block of Fairlawn Avenue, SE by pointing a gun at him. 

He allegedly drove away with an accomplice, later stopping to let on a third accomplice, before Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers stopped the three in an alley leading to 17th Street, NE.

The two other suspects, identified as Rob Smith and Marc Kirk, were both released on July 6.

Judge Rainey Brandt scheduled another hearing for July 16.
