WASHINGTON, DC.- Last Monday, a 19-year-old Washington, D.C., man was taken into custody and jailed after being charged in connection with striking a man with his vehicle during the early afternoon hours on Friday, December 12, 2025, in Southeast, D.C.
According to Interim D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Jeffery W. Carroll, on Friday, December 12, 2025, at around 12:45 p.m., members of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department’s Sixth District responded to a report of an injured person on the 2200 Block of Minnesota Avenue in Southeast, D.C.
Upon arrival, Police Officers located a victim suffering from non-life-threatening injuries. The victim was transported to an area hospital by DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services for treatment.
During the ensuing investigation, Responding Police Officers and Detectives learned that the victim and the suspect became involved in an argument on Minnesota Avenue, when the argument quickly escalated, and the suspect pepper-sprayed the victim. The suspect then jumped into his vehicle and struck the victim with his vehicle as he fled the scene.
On Monday, December 15, 2025, Sixth District Police Officers responded to a 911 Emergency Call requesting assistance with suspicious activity on the 2500 Block of Palmer Place in Southeast, D.C. Upon arrival, while investigating, Police Officers observed a vehicle matching the description used in the Southeast, D.C., assault on Friday.
Accordingly, Jahmari Wormley, 19, of Southeast, D.C., was taken into custody and formally charged with one count of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon. He was processed on the charge and detained pending future court proceedings in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.
“The rules of the court require us to include a statement that states: The charges outlined in this publication are merely accusations, and the defendant and or defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt.”
