From MPD:

“There were two Carjacking incidents this morning in the First District. In the first incident nothing was obtained; in the second incident the victims vehicle was stolen.

At about 8:20 AM the complainant parked her vehicle in a gas station in the 1200 block of PA Ave SE to refuel the vehicle. While she was out of the vehicle, another vehicle pulled alongside of her, a subject exited and jumped into the driver’s seat of the victim’s car. A witness was still seated in the victim’s car and a struggle ensued between that witness and the suspect. During the struggle another suspect from the suspect vehicle approached and displayed a handgun. Subsequently all suspects fled in the vehicle they arrived in. The lookout is for a 2001-2002 black Mercedes, 500 Class, with tinted windows; the vehicle was occupied by four suspects. Suspect 1: black male, 18-22 years old, light complexion, 5’5”, medium build, dreadlocks hair style, wearing a black t-shirt with a red design, khaki pants; Suspect 2: black male, 18-22 years old, dark complexion, 5’8”, slim build, wearing a two tone gray hoody, blue jeans and armed with a handgun; Suspect 3 & 4, unknown males seated in the back seat of the vehicle.
