Darius Eubanks, Carjacking, Missouri 2021

Carjacking Suspect Pleads Guilty

A shocking case of carjacking has come to light in St. Louis, Missouri. On June 27, 2021, a 28-year-old man, identified as Darius Eubanks, allegedly carjacked two people, including a grandmother who was struggling to free her granddaughter.

According to police, Eubanks, 28, pleaded guilty via Zoom in front of U.S. District Stephen R. Clark to two carjacking charges and a charge of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.

As part of his plea, Eubanks admitted to ordering a man out of a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu at gunpoint at a north St. Louis grocery store and then driving off in the car. Later that day, Eubanks crashed into another vehicle at Labadie Avenue and North Sarah Street in north St. Louis.

During his rampage, Eubanks walked to a nearby market and pistol-whipped a woman who was placing her granddaughter into a 2005 Hyundai Sonata. The woman was knocked to the ground as Eubanks began driving off with the car and her granddaughter inside.

Fortunately, police were able to catch up with Eubanks less than 30 minutes later near his home in the 5000 block of Palm Avenue. He was found with a gun and the grandmother’s car keys.

Eubanks, a St. Louis native, is scheduled to be sentenced on December 21. The case was investigated by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI.
