12-year-old faces justice for deadly DC carjacking after mother's intervention
A 12-year-old boy appeared before a judge in Washington, D.C., after his mother turned him in for his involvement in a fatal attempted carjacking. The boy's alleged accomplice, a 13-year-old, was shot and killed by the targeted driver. The 12-year-old was identified through surveillance footage and evidence found in his room. The court learned that the boy has a history of behavioral issues and started smoking marijuana at 11 years old. His mother has tried to get him help, but he has been charged with carjacking and will be held in a secured juvenile facility.
