Mohammad Anwar, 66, was killed Tuesday afternoon near Nationals Park. Two teenage girls, 13 and 15, assaulted him with a Taser while carjacking him, which led to an accident in which he was fatally injured.

He was working in an UberEats delivery when he was assaulted in Navy Yard,

According to police, the younger girls is from the southeast section of DC. The older one from Fort Washington, Maryland. They have been charged with felony murder and armed carjacking. Each pleaded “not involved” to the charges during their initial court appearance Wednesday. Their next court hearing has been scheduled for March 31.

Anwar immigrated from Pakistan in 2014. He was the financial provider for his family, who have organized a gofundme page to raise money for a traditional Islamic funeral and to assist in expenses due to the loss of his income.

He was described as a “beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend who always provided a smile when you needed one.” An Uber spokesperson said the company was “devastated by this tragic news and our hearts go out to Mohammad’s family during this difficult time.”

WUSA reported an increase in carjackings during the last few months. D.C. Police say carjackings have become a major point of concern for their agency. The department said in 2021, 23 juveniles have been arrested in the District for committing that crime.

MPD data shows there have been 95 car jackings in D.C. in 2021. That’s three times the amount of carjackings there were in D.C. this same time in 2020.

D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee announced the formation of a regional carjacking task force to address the issue in early February. He said many carjackers were targeting delivery drivers and that First Street SE in Navy Yard had become a “hot spot” for such activity.
