A teenage girl was sentenced to juvenile detention until she turns 21 for her role in the murder of a 66-year-old UberEats driver.
The girl was 13-years-old at the time of the March 23 homicide. She and another girl, who was 15-years-old at the time, attempted to carjack Mohammad Anwar on the 1200 block of Van Street, SE.
The girls were armed with a stun gun and, when Anwar accelerated the car, it ran into a tree, which flipped the car, D.C. Witness previously reported. Anwar was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
The younger girl was convicted of second-degree murder.
The older defendant was sentenced as a juvenile for felony murder on June 4. She will be held under the supervision of the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) until she is 21.
“He might just be a name, a victim, but let me tell you what an angel the world lost that day,” Anwar’s daughter said during the older defendant’s sentencing hearing.
