Teen Driver Charged with Murder After ATM Robbery Gone Wrong
A 17-year-old driver has been charged with first-degree murder after a violent crime spree in Northwest D.C. ended with the victim’s death at the scene. Kyree Young, 17, of Washington, D.C., was arrested and charged with first-degree murder while armed – felony murder, an offense that occurred on the morning of May 7, 2025.
According to court documents, Young followed the victim from an ATM and struck him with a vehicle, robbed him, and attempted to access his financial accounts at the same ATM he had been using earlier. The victim died at the scene. Police later recovered the vehicle and gathered other evidence that led to Young’s identification.
The case is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington Field Division. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jamie Carter is handling the prosecution.
Young made his initial appearance before Superior Court Magistrate Judge Robert J. Hildum today, where Judge Hildum found probable cause that Young committed the offense of first-degree murder while armed – felony murder and ordered that Young be held without bond pending trial.
The United States is still investigating Young’s accomplices in the crime. These charges are merely an allegation and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
As the investigation continues, the community is left to grapple with the senseless violence that took the life of an innocent victim. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro said, ‘The charges filed against Kyree Young are a reminder that our community will not tolerate senseless violence and that those responsible will be held accountable.’ The U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to work tirelessly to bring justice to the victim and his family.
The Metropolitan Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are urging anyone with information about the crime to come forward and cooperate with the investigation.
