A Washington, D.C., grandmother is the latest victim of D.C. carjackings that have been spreading in recent months.
"I am not well. I have been like talking to my therapist," Smith said.
"I don’t know how you just go on and live this with having a gun pulled on you with your dear loved ones like only seconds away," Smith said. "It seems like a lot of the carjackings are occurring from teenagers so attack the problem. Put a curfew in place," she said. D.C. carjackings have spiked by nearly 74% in 2021 compared to the prior year, with the city reporting more than 186 carjackings since January.
Mayor Muriel Bowser has not responded to multiple requests for comment on the carjackings and plans on how to fight them, but D.C. police revealed last week they launched a carjacking task force using"bait cars" to catch suspects in the city.One particularly violent carjacking made national headlines in March when teenaged girls were arrested in the murder of an Uber Eats driver during an attempted carjacking.
