A 13-year-old girl pleaded guilty to murder in the death of an UberEats driver she and another girl attempted to carjack near Nationals Park in late March.
The girl pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in juvenile court:
The girl, 13, appeared in a virtual court hearing where she pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the March 23 death of Mohammad Anwar, 66, a Pakistani immigrant and grandfather, according to a Washington, D.C. court official. Other charges against her – including armed carjacking – will be dropped. Under the plea deal, she will be released from prison when she turns 21 if the maximum sentence is imposed.
She is scheduled to be sentenced July 6. Another girl, 15, involved in the carjacking pleaded guilty to a murder charge in May.
The D.C. Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services has custody of the girls.
