Two teenage girls in Washington, D.C. have been charged with felony murder and armed carjacking following the death of an Uber Eats driver named Mohammad Anwar. At this time, the two teenage girls are being accused of tasing Anwar in an attempt to steal his car. As the situation unfolded, the car barreled down the street and turned over. Anwar died in the accident and the girls were rescued from the wreckage.
In the days following his death, Anwar’s family has raised more than $500,000 in his memory. The funds will likely go towards his funeral and loss of wages in the immediate future. He was reportedly completing an Uber Eats delivery at the time of his death.
“The details are still being investigated, however, we know that Anwar was working on an UberEats delivery when two assailants attempted to carjack him in Navy Yard,” the family said.
“Anwar was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend who always provided a smile when you needed one. He leaves behind a family, near and far, who cherish, love, and miss him dearly.”
Following his death, Uber offered their condolences and issued a statement.
“We’re grateful the suspects have been arrested and thank the Metropolitan Police Department for their diligence with this investigation,” a spokesperson for Uber stated.
