Notorious Carjacker Convicted of Armed Heist
A Washington DC Superior Court jury has found Andrew Patrick, 38, guilty of armed carjacking and several related charges.
The victim, who stopped at a gas station on Good Hope Road, was attacked by Patrick who demanded her car keys at gunpoint.
According to the government, Patrick, dressed in a distinctive outfit, pushed the victim against her vehicle, took her keys, and drove away in her 2005 blue Chevy Suburban.
The victim called 911, providing a detailed description of Patrick and his firearm. Later that day, a license plate reader detected the vehicle’s tags on North Capitol NE and Benning Road NE.
Officers apprehended the vehicle, which was being driven by Patrick, and discovered a black and grey Glock 37 in a red floral satchel on the front passenger floorboard.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves and Acting Chief Pamela Smith commended the work of the Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Gregory J. Evans and Omeed A. Assefi investigated, prosecuted, and tried the case, securing a guilty verdict for Patrick.
The Honorable Judge Lynn Leibovitz has scheduled sentencing for December 1, 2023, at 9:30am.
