Two teen girls charged with murder in carjacking death of Uber Eats driver

Two teenage girls were charged with murder Wednesday in the death of an Uber Eats driver who they allegedly carjacked and assaulted with a stun gun in Washington, DC, a new report said.

The suspects, ages 13 and 15, are accused of attacking the 66-year-old driver, Mohammad Anwar, inside his car on Tuesday as he was driving near Nationals Park in the southeast section of the city,NBC Washington reported.

Anwar’s gray sedan crashed and flipped on its side during the attempted robbery, the report said.

The victim was found by police on the sidewalk. He was taken to a nearby hospital, but could not be saved.

The two girls were pulled from the wreck by two National Guard troops who were in the area, according to the station. They were arrested at the scene.

Dear Lord!

What occurred before they killed a man working his tail off who was already balancing family living in two cultures?

13. 15. Sadly not unbelievable.

Peace to Mr. Anwsr's family.

For the love of God, Allah, Buddha, Virgin Mary, Mother Earth. This is some seriously messed up ****. Sorry for potty mouth.

Why? What's going on? Where are we at here in the US?

This makes me sick!

It’s horrific. Maybe just maybe these girls should be in school? Kids need structure. Idols hands...... Just a thought. Insane. MOO

This poor man was murdered, IMO by two out of control teens!

The mayor of DC's response to this crime?

So, it was Mr Anwar's fault, for not " protecting" his vehicle?

And also, CNN called his death an accident.

"Police said the girls, 13 and 15, assaulted an Uber Eats driver with a Taser while carjacking him, which led to an accident in which he was fatally injured."

Unbelievable. But why am I not surprised? Of courseeeeee it’s not the girls fault. Has to be the Uber driver for not protecting himself. GTFOH. Makes me so mad

 

[JoeFromLB]

These little killers need to be put away for a very, very long time, but what will probably happen is they'll end up in juvenile court and be released at 18 or 21 or whatever, as fully formed dangerous criminals.
When will society wake up?!

Whoa! WOW! Thanks for update.

It's so Flippin PC. JMO not to mention victim shaming for heaven sake.

Why is it taking me so long to process when it happens all the time?

Tasered. Carjacked. Murdered.

 

[shotgun09]

I doubt those two monsters will see any time. The mayor of DC, along with the DA's feels this is all a minor car-jacking incident I'm sure.

 

[shotgun09]

LOL, I just peeked. But, Mayor Bowser is trending on Twitter now. Go figure...

 

[jenpil]

I mean, just WHAT?!?

One of the girls was 13. THIRTEEN!! Probably hadn't even started puberty....and yet is willing to kill an innocent person, no conscience.

When I read "the man was taken to hospital but couldn't be saved...." it dawned on me what a vicious savage psychotic attack this must have been.

And right in the capital of the USA too.

 

[Marg from Oz]

They had a taser! Where did they get that from? I suppose they will be tried as juveniles and only do a couple of years. MOO

 

[shotgun09]

I have seen this quote elsewhere, but in regards to the mayor's ridiculous victim shaming statement...

" Look, if your car wasn't wearing such a short skirt, none of this would have happened"

THAT is how awful her statement on Twitter reads.

Shame on her for victim blaming and shaming!

There is a ** **** ** page set up for Mr Anwar. May he RIP

Granted, Bowser needs to speak out about this crime, but I do want to point out that the Tweet was scheduled. It was not a comment on what happened to Mr. Anwar.

They should be in jail for a very long time.

I don't believe it was a scheduled tweet. That's her PR team scrambling to clear her name.

 

[shotgun09]

Perhaps Mayor Bowser needs a new PR manager, who will post Tweets in her Professional name in a more respectable fashion. Regardless, she pulled the tweet. It was in poor taste, whether scheduled or not due to the sensitivity of the crime and situation.

ETA: Jinx LisaNYC! I posted this before I saw yours!
