Armed Robbery in Southeast Washington DC Lands Young Man Behind Bars
On May 25, 2023, a brazen mid-afternoon robbery shook the streets of Southeast Washington DC. Tramayne Moore, 26, of Washington D.C., approached a victim in the 800 block of Ridge Road Southeast at approximately 3:00 p.m. and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the victim.
The victim, obedient to the command, left his wallet and cell phone behind as Moore ordered him out of the car. Moore then took the car and drove off, leaving behind a trail of destruction and fear.
Aided by eyewitnesses, the Metropolitan Police Department located and apprehended Moore just two hours later. The recovered victim’s car, which had sustained minor damage, and property were returned to the victim, but unfortunately, the weapon was not recovered.
Moore pleaded guilty to one count of armed robbery in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia in August 2023. During the plea hearing, Moore admitted to the crime and accepted responsibility for his actions.
Sentenced to six years in prison by Superior Court Judge Jason Park, Moore’s fate was sealed. The U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves and Chief Pamela Smith commended the efforts of the Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia for their tireless work in bringing the perpetrator to justice.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Randle Wilson successfully prosecuted the case, ensuring that Moore would face the consequences of his actions. The community can rest easy knowing that justice has been served, and Moore will be held accountable for his crimes.
