Teen sentenced to juvenile detention for fatal carjacking of Uber Eats driver

A 14-year-old girl involved in the carjacking death of an Uber Eats driver has been sentenced to juvenile detention until she turns 21 — the maximum sentence requested by prosecutors.
The girl, who was 13 at the time, and a 15-year-old girl used a stun gun to carjack Mohammad Anwar, 66, of Springfield, Virginia, on March 23.
Video of the incident, which happened near Nationals Park, showed Anwar holding on to the open driver’s side door as one of the girls stepped on the gas pedal. His car hit a curb and tipped on its side, landing on top of him.

Under plea deals, both girls pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in return for prosecutors dropping other charges. (The 13-year-old girl was from Southeast D.C. and the 15-year-old was from Fort Washington, Maryland.) ... In early June, the 15-year-old girl was also sentenced to confinement until the age of 21.
