WASHINGTON, DC.- On Friday, November 22, 2024, Deangelo Richardson, 22, of Washington, D.C., appeared in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia and was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Erik Christian to 240 months in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release for his previously entered guilty pleas for committing an armed carjacking and armed robbery.
According to U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves and Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela A. Smith, on April 2, 2024, Richardson appeared in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia and pleaded guilty to one count of Armed Carjacking; and one count of Armed Robbery in connection with incidents that occurred on July 14, 2022 and November 26, 2022.
According To Documents Filed With The Court
According to charging documents filed with the Superior Court, on July 14, 2022, Richardson, along with two unidentified co-conspirators, committed a series of violent acts in Washington, D.C., ending with an armed carjacking near the 600 Block of Morton Place in Northeast, D.C. During the violent acts, all three assailants covered their faces.
Richardson and his co-conspirators, armed with firearms, attempted to carjack two separate individuals before proceeding to the 600 Block of Morton Place. At around 6:49 p.m., they approached a woman parking her car on Morton Place. One of the co-conspirators pulled out a handgun and stated, “Give Me Everything!” Richardson and two associates took the woman’s keys, phone, and credit cards attached to her phone and other personal belongings. Richardson later used the woman’s credit card at a gas station and a restaurant.
Richardson also committed an armed robbery that took place on November 26, 2022, near the 1300 Block of South Carolina Avenue in Southeast, D.C. Shortly before 8:00 p.m., Richardson parked a car ahead of the victims, who were walking their dog after dinner. When the couple walked near his car, Richardson jumped out of the car with a handgun and robbed the husband of his cell phone. Ricardson was arrested later that night after a high-speed pursuit by the Police.
