The second teenager who pleaded guilty to the heinous murder of an Uber Eats driver in Washington D.C. during a failed carjacking was sentenced Tuesday to juvenile detention.
The girl, who is now 14, will reportedly be released from custody when she turns 21. She was 13 when she and another teenage girl attempted to carjack Mohammad Anwar, 66, back in late March near Nationals Park.
The two teenagers allegedly attacked him with a taser near the Navy Yard metro station area. A video of the incident shows Anwar holding on to the vehicle as the girls were driving it before crashing and turning over multiple times on a nearby street.
Anwar, who was a Pakistani immigrant, was ejected and died near the crash. The teens were brought into custody at the scene.
The girl who was sentenced Tuesday “pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last month. The other girl, who was 15 at the time of the crime, received the same sentence in June.”
Anwar’s family reportedly told the judge during the first teen’s June 4th sentencing that he was a “family man with a kind heart who worked in Kuwait for many years to support his family in Pakistan before they finally were able to move to the United States to chase the American Dream.”
Anwar’s daughter added during the sentencing that the teen had a criminal record before the fatal incident and that her father was “failed by the law in this city.”
“Is the law protecting us or them?” she asked. “Why was she not in a facility that day?”
