Two Juveniles Plead Guilty to Carjacking in Southeast Washington D.C.
A terrifying carjacking in Southeast Washington D.C. led to a guilty plea from two juveniles, Robert Littles, 17, and Jessup Meeks, 18, both of Washington D.C.
On November 19, 2023, the victim, an Uber driver, was working in the 3000 block of Massachusetts Avenue Southeast when he was approached by Meeks and an unidentified third person. Littles pointed a black AR-style rifle with a drum magazine at the victim’s head before punching the victim in the face.
The defendants then pulled the victim out of his car and down to the ground, demanding that he ‘leave everything and get out.’ The defendants then fled the scene in the victim’s car, which was later found crashed in the 3000 block of Nelson Place Southeast.
Meeks and Littles were arrested approximately thirty minutes later after a short foot pursuit. During the stop, officers recovered the firearm from Littles’ person.
The case was investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Randle Wilson and Lauren ‘Luca’ Winer.
The Honorable Judge Errol Arthur scheduled a sentencing hearing for February 21, 2025. Carjacking carries a mandatory minimum term of seven years of incarceration.
Littles and Meeks pleaded guilty in D.C. Superior Court to one count of carjacking and one count of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
