Details from the case of two D.C. men charged last week for carjacking and assault highlight the reason the region’s top prosecutors are banding together to take on the crime, which has seen a sharp increase since the start of the pandemic.
Rashaun Onley and Elijah Greene-Parker face more than 14 charges in Maryland District Court for an afternoon of carjacking one vehicle after another in both Arlington and Montgomery counties, according to charging documents.
In multiple instances, the men “displayed handguns, demanded money” and took the vehicles. The case highlights how the crime of carjacking can cross through multiple jurisdictions.
