Two teenagers are being charged as adults in the death of an Uber Eats driver. They stole his vehicle and ran him over and then caused a destructive crash. The issue is picking up national attention. The victim is of South Asian descent.
Mohammad Anwar, 66 was working for Uber Eats in the Navy Yard district of Washington, DC when two girls assaulted him with a stun gun and his car crashed, police and the family say.
The moment where one of the carjackers uses the stun gun on Mohammad and he launches the vehicle into parked cars.
The girls are 13 and 15 and they are facing felony murder charges after the police say they carjacked him.
Anwar, of Springfield, Virginia was identified as the victim.
The suspects are from Washington, DC and Fort Washington, Maryland. Their names are released as of yet but once the district issues adult charges, they'll be identified.
Documents released on Wednesday says the girls were arrested on felony murder and carjacking. They were taken to the Metropolitan Police Department's homicide branch for processing.

Anwar was a father and grandfather with many loved ones in the U.S. and Pakistan, his family said. He was working as an Uber Eats driver at the time of the crime.
"He was a hardworking immigrant who came to the U.S. in 2014 to build a better life for himself and his family. The loss for his family is immeasurable," they said in a statement and called the act "senseless."
Anwar leaves behind a wife, two adult children living in the U.S. and one living in Pakistan with four of his grandchildren.
An investigation revealed that the girls were using the stun gun in a robbery which led to the deadly crash.
Anwar was in a gray sedan about a block north of Nationals Park, in the 1200 bock of Van Street SE, when the girls assaulted him using a stun gun and tried to steal his car, police said. It's unclear what happened inside the car.
The victim was struggling with the carjackers.
Car lands on the side and Mohammad Anwar was thrown from the vehicle.
Anwar's car then crashed and flipped onto its side on N Street SC. Video footage shows the damaged car balanced on its side.
Police arrived shortly after and found the victim on the sidewalk. They took Anwar to the hospital where he died of his injuries.
Anwar's family has started a GoFundMe page for his funeral expenses. So far his family raised nearly $1.3 million.
The two girls will be held in the lockup until their hearing. They could face up to LIFE in the iron college if convicted as adults.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

With gun violence out of control in the United States, President Joe Biden and Democrats are pushing for reforms to curb this pandemic.
When it gets warmer, we expect more Americans out and about. But of course, we expect more gun violence to occur. Despite the pandemic, millions of Americans are traveling to vacation destinations.
Take for example, Virginia Beach, Virginia. The city has a population of 450,000 residents and it is part of a metropolitan area that includes Norfolk, Newport News, Suffolk, Chesapeake, Hampton and Portsmouth. The area is called Hampton Roads and its total population is 3.4 million residents. It covers parts of Virginia and North Carolina.
Even with Miami Beach cracking down on unruly partygoers, the city of Virginia Beach is considering it after a handful of shootings occurred.
Two people are dead and eight are injured in overnight shootings.
One included an officer involved shooting in which an alleged shooter was gunned down.
The scene early Saturday morning was called by the law, "very chaotic."
In a statement, the Virginia Beach Police Department said the first shooting occurred shortly after 11pm Friday, when police who were patrolling the area heard gunfire. Police arriving to the scene found a woman who died of her injuries and eight people whose injuries were described as serious or life-threatening. In addiction, an officer sustained minor injuries after being struck by a vehicle, Chief Paul Neudigate said at a press conference.
In a news release on Saturday, police said investigators believe the first shooting stemmed from "some type of conflict" and a fight involving a group of people.
The Oceanfront faces a mass shooting.
"At some point during the physical altercation, several individuals produced firearms and began shooting at each other, resulting in numerous people being wounded," the statement says.
While officers were investigating the shooting, shots were fired nearby, Neudigate said. An officer confronted a male suspect and fatally shot him. The officer has been placed on administrative leave. He has been with the department for five years and is assigned to its special operations division.
"We have a very chaotic incident, a very chaotic night," Neudigate said.
The injured officer has been released from a hospital, police said.
No suspect information was immediately available. Neudigate said several people were in police custody, but their possible involvement in the shooting was still under investigation. He said he believed the incidents all took place outdoors.
Two full blocks that mostly made up a city owned parking lot remained blocked off by police tape on Saturday. Dozens of cars were inside the crime scene, with officers inspecting some of them. A couple of blocks away, a car that was surrounded by police tape sat in the middle of a street.
Akereia Drayton, who was still waiting to get her car from the lot on Saturday, said she was coming out of a club on Friday night after the shooting ended and saw "mass chaos" and many people running.
Mass shootings in Virginia Beach.
"People were literally falling over themselves," Drayton said. "There was a mass swarm of people that came to get to their cars. And then there was a wreck."
Kevin Robertson, who lives a few houses away from the parking lot, said he was on his porch when the shooting began. He said the gunfire lasted for what seemed like 15 minutes.
"There were definitely two or three guns," he said, adding that he could hear gunshots coming from different areas outside of his house as time went on.
Bill Feis, who also lives a few houses away from the parking lot, said he was in bed and could hear people talking loudly before the shooting, which he said "sounded like someone threw a package of firecrackers."
How many mass shootings is going to take for Congress to do something about gun violence?
It never happens in your community....... Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how this gun reform is taking away your rights. I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. I don't want hear folks say this is not white privilege. I don't want to hear folks say masks impede their freedoms. I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. These incidents are a tragic part of American history.
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!
We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!

Walter served as 2nd National Vice President of the Screen Actors Guild, and was an elected member of the SAG Board of Directors for over a decade.
As news of her passing spread, Walter’s Arrested co-stars and many others began to weigh in, with co-star David Cross calling her “an absolutely brilliant actress and amazing talent.” See those tributes here.
Walter began her career in her hometown of New York City where she appeared in numerous Broadway productions including Advise and Consent, Neil Simon’s Rumors, A Severed Head, Nightlife and Photo Finish, for which she earned the Clarence Derwent Award for Most Promising Newcomer.

You notice that Black people are being treated with lengthy bids in the iron college for minor crimes while white insurrectionists are begging to be released to go on vacation in Mexico.
Let's use that Midland, Texas flower shop worker who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection which lead to five people killed, hundreds of people injured and millions of dollars of damages. These folks were treated with respect and dignity whereas Black people celebrating spring break in Florida are being arrested and threatened with lengthy bids in the iron college.
It fucking annoys me that white people are treated much differently than Blacks when they're arrested.
An Indiana man who recently moved to Florida is facing a five year bid for playing his music too loud.
The city of Miami Beach issued a curfew to curb the unruly behavior and the possibility of spreading the coronavirus. The coronavirus has been out of control in Florida and many expect the state to spark another outbreak.
The issues in South Beach include people jumping on vehicles, others shattering glass, vandalizing property, trespassing, blocking roadways and smoking weed (marijuana) in public.
Yet the few arrest reports from Sunday night show the law singled out one black man for the whole ordeal. They decided to charge Javon Washington, 30 known as Jae Murder for inciting a riot.
Washington who lived in Hammond. Indiana is a Chicago-based entertainer found the arrest to be pretty petty to say at least.
They confiscated his speaker, handcuffed him, hauled him away and hit him with a handful of charges: violating a noise ordinance but also four felonies -- resisting arrest without violence, breaching the peace, violating curfew and inciting a riot. The inciting a riot is a third degree felony which could place him in the iron college for five years.
He said it was a small speaker, a $20 dollar flea market used device.
Miami Beach issued a mandatory off the streets curfew the second night of an unruly spring break.
"Literally, he was playing music and they arrested him," the man, who would only give his first name of Kevin, said.
Asked to explain what Washington did to urge people to jump on cars, trespass and fuel the mayhem, Miami Beach Police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez said the arrest form speaks for itself. The closest Washington's arrest form comes to an explanation is when police say that "officers observed the defendant enticing the crowd with music from speakers."
Miami Beach police have made more than 1,000 arrests since spring break throngs began spilling into the city in early February, a reaction from law enforcement and city political leadership that some Black leaders have criticized as excessive. But Washington's music-driven charges stand out in the dozens of rolling street parties and clashes in the city over the last few months.
It came on the second night of the curfew and only a few hours after city commissioners gathered for an emergency meeting following a Saturday night of chaos on South Beach that again put one of the world's most popular tourist meccas under an unwanted international spotlight.
In early February, the city already had implemented an emergency order that criminalizes some items that most other times are part of the typical tourist kit: backpacks, coolers and speakers. They're all banned on the beach east of Ocean Drive. It's an order that is usually enforced only during "high impact" weekends like spring break and Memorial Day and that draw mostly young, mostly Black crowds.
Only one other person was charged with inciting a riot on Sunday night. That arrest came an hour later and several blocks east inside the Entertainment District, which had been placed under the curfew. According to the arrest report, it had nothing to do with police concerns about music and a large crowd was not involved.
Quamier Nantambu Johnson, 25, was charged after police said he and two friends became abusive and aggressive towards two Miami Gardens police officers helping Beach police enforce the curfew near Collins Avenue and Ninth Street just before 10:30 p.m. Sunday.
According to his arrest report, as Johnson and two friends passed by, he cursed and insulted an officer. When the officer told him to tamp it down and to leave the area because it was after curfew, police said Johnson threatened to harm the officer. Johnson was eventually taken into custody and charged with threatening the officer, resisting without violence, weed possession and inciting a riot.
Johnson, who as of Friday had been released from jail, could not be reached for comment.
Both incitement arrests came as police were pressed into more hands-on action by city leaders who viewed videotape of the bedlam that broke out Saturday, a night earlier, with cops firing pepper balls into crowds that had overturned tables at restaurants and damaged cars and had fights. Even the iconic Clevelander South Beach bar and hotel was forced to shut down.
This year's spring break has generated plenty of controversy and finger-pointing about what or who is to blame for crowd-control problems — from cheap airfare and pandemic boredom bringing a flood of tourists, to police tactics and city policies that some critics see as biased against Black visitors, to the come-on-down-to-Florida message of Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Earlier this week, Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber — who has called for a total reform of the city's Entertainment District — said the measures were necessary for public safety.
Florida is open for business.
"There has been gun play, open brawling and other hazards. And all that in the midst of a pandemic where mask usage and physical distancing seems like an afterthought, if that," Gelber said in a video message. "So we have to implement measures we would prefer not to deploy, but must."
Stephen Hunter Johnson, chair of Miami-Dade County's Black Affairs Advisory Board, believes one group is getting too much of the blame.
"There's an undertone in that somehow all Black people are responsible for the actions of a few people who happen to be Black," Johnson said. "I just don't want the unnecessary scapegoating of Black people."
For others, like Washington, the concern is personal — that the pressure on police to do something about wild weekends produced excessive charges that could cost them work or even wind up putting them in prison.
Washington, for one thing, was charged with breaking curfew — even though the street corner where police took him into custody was west of the Entertainment District boundaries where curfew was imposed. Interim city manager Raul J. Aguila admitted as much but said it was up to the Miami-Dade State Attorney "to determine the prosecution of those charges."
Washington said he moved to Miami from Indiana to further his music career and had gone to South Beach to promote himself and hand out fliers. He acknowledged a past criminal record, saying he had two previous felonies, one a robbery when he was 17 in Chicago.
But now, he said he is scrambling to make a living while pursuing a rap career. He posts his music on SoundCloud like many hopeful artists but said he made his first Miami appearance on stage in December. For now, he said he works multiple jobs, including running food at a Miami restaurant and house painting. An incitement charge, he said, could derail all that. He's already spent several nights in jail from the arrest.
"I don't want the charge on my record," he said. "It would really hurt me a lot."
There was an incident where two men were arrested for drugging and raping a woman.
There was an incident where a man was accused of groping an older woman.
Each of these incidents were reported in the junk food media.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

It's over for Sharon Osbourne's hosting duties over at The Talk. After two weeks of discussion, CBS Studios has decided to fire Osbourne out the cannon. Osbourne is the co-founder of the CBS daytime talk show along with actress Sara Gilbert.
The decision came after she made inappropriate remarks in regards to Sheryl Underwood and Duchess Meghan. The allegations of disrespect towards Gilbert as well as former co-hosts Holly Robinson Peete, Julie Chen and Leah Remini also came to light.
The news comes two weeks after controversy over an on-air confrontation between Osbourne and one of her co-hosts, as well as allegations that she had made racist and homophobic remarks about her colleagues in the past.
"The events of the March 10 broadcast were upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home. As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon's behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace," CBS said in a statement released to CNN. "We also did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts."
CNN has reached out to a representative for Osbourne for comment.
In the episode at the center of the controversy, Osbourne had an intense debate with fellow co-host Sheryl Underwood after the latter questioned Osbourne's support of her longtime friend, Piers Morgan.
Morgan left his job on ITV's "Good Morning Britain" after allegations that negative comments he made following Prince Harry and Meghan's interview with media mogul Oprah Winfrey were rooted in racism.
Osbourne demanded Underwood present instances of when Morgan had been racist and was visibly upset during the exchange.
Osbourne later tweeted an apology, saying she "panicked," "felt blindsided" and then "got defensive" during her conversation with Underwood.
Following the episode, CBS announced an internal review would take place and the show went on a temporary production hiatus.
Major shakeup on The Talk. Sharon Osbourne finds the end of her time at the longtime daytime show.
Shortly thereafter, in a story written by journalist Yashar Ali, former "Talk" co-host Leah Remini, who spoke on the record in the piece, and a number of unnamed sources, accused Osbourne of using racist and homophobic language in the past when speaking about her colleagues.
CNN did not independently verify the claims, but a spokesperson for Remini confirmed the accuracy of her statements, as reported by Ali to CNN and declined further comment.
Osbourne's spokesperson Howard Bragman disputed the allegations.
"The only thing worse than a disgruntled former employee is a disgruntled former talk show host," he said in a statement to CNN. "For 11 years Sharon has been kind, collegial and friendly with her hosts as evidenced by throwing them parties, inviting them to her home in the UK and other gestures of kindness too many to name. Sharon is disappointed but unfazed and hardly surprised by the lies, the recasting of history and the bitterness coming out at this moment."
Before the allegations went public, Osbourne spoke to "Entertainment Tonight" and insisted she is not racist. She also said she had attempted to apologize to Underwood, whom she considered a friend, to no avail.
"I am not a racist and if you can't have a go at your friend who happens to be Black, does that make me racist because I said certain things to my friend, but I said them on camera?" Osbourne said. "I will keep on apologizing to Sheryl, even if I decide not to go back, I will still keep apologizing to Sheryl."
Osbourne was the only remaining original cast member of "The Talk," which debuted in 2010.
In its statement Friday, CBS also said: "During this week's hiatus, we are coordinating workshops, listening sessions and training about equity, inclusion and cultural awareness for the hosts, producers and crew. Going forward, we are identifying plans to enhance the producing staff and producing procedures to better serve the hosts, the production and, ultimately, our viewers."

The 100 day challenge by President Joe Biden is being ignored by the white nationalist Republican governors. Over 20 states all led by Republican governors are deciding to end their mask mandates despite the five new variants of the coronavirus.
Yes.... We're all getting tired of wearing masks in public and in places of businesses. The coronavirus is not going away anytime soon. However, if we take this seriously, we could finally end the pandemic.
Indiana, West Virginia, Arizona, Iowa, North Dakota, South Carolina, Wyoming, Alabama, Oklahoma, Utah, Montana, Connecticut and Arkansas are moving forward to ending their mask mandates.
The white nationalist Republican governors and one Democrat are defying the Centers for Disease Control's advice on how to safely conduct the coronavirus pandemic.
The risk is too great for us to be 100% back to normal. I would understand that we can be at 50% or 60% but just abandoning the mask mandate and social distancing is just plain stupid.
Folks, the coronavirus has killed over 550,000 Americans. We're heading into a populations equal of Milwaukee, Baltimore, Atlanta, Tampa and Fresno.
I'm tired of wearing the face mask too but damn I'm not risking my health or my family's health because of politics.
The coronavirus hasn't went away. It's still here and Republicans continue to make it more difficult to stop it because of their stupid principles.
Many lawmakers in the Republican House and Senate will likely get vaccinated. They'll do it when there's no cameras present. I mean Washed Up 45 and Melania Trump got the vaccine shots despite the former saying that he used hydroxychloroquine (which was proven to be a lie). The former president used Regeneron's monoclonal, dexamethasone and remdesivir (when he got it in October).
President Joe Biden is urging Americans to take the vaccine to prevent the spread.
Republicans don't trust him. They trust the noise of Washed Up 45, Tucker Carlson, Mark Levin, the dead corpse of Rush Limbaugh and Sean "Softball" Hannity.
The vaccine holdouts makes it harder for us to get pass this pandemic.
Former presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama have confirmed to Biden that they will pledge assistance to helping Americans get vaccinated.
Please do your part and maintain social distancing and facial masks. Save a life, please!

Dominion Voting Systems is officially suing Fox News as a part of its $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit.
This lawsuit includes the following characters: Mike Lindell,the My Pillow Guy, Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, L. Lin Wood and Michael Flynn, Sr.
Washed Up 45's campaign has relentlessly spread misinformation about the election. It led to the company getting death threats. It also played a huge role in the insurrection on Jan. 6.
So on Friday, Dominion filed a federal lawsuit against Fox, arguing the far-right cable network falsely claimed in an effort boost ratings that the voting company had rigged the 2020 elections.
It's the first defamation suit filed against a media outlet by the voting company, which was a target of misleading, false and bizarre claims spread by Washed Up 45 and his cronies in the aftermath of his lost ot Joe Biden. Those claims helped spur the insurrection which led to the U.S. Capitol being under siege. The siege led to Washed Up 45 being impeached for the second time.
Dominion argues that Fox amplified inaccurate assertions that Dominion altered votes, "sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes, severely injuring Dominion in the process."
"The truth matters. Lies have consequences,: the lawsuit states. "Fox sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes, severely injuring Dominion in the process. If this case does not rise to the level of defamation by a broadcaster then nothing does."
Even before Dominion's lawsuit on Friday, Fox News had already filed four motions to dismiss other legal action against its coverage. And anchor Eric Shawn interviewed a Dominion spokesperson on air in November.
"Fox News Media is proud of our 2020 election coverage, which stands in the highest tradition of American journalism, and we will vigorously defend against this baseless lawsuit in court," it said in a statement on Friday.
There was no known widespread fraud in the 2020 election, a fact that a range of election officials across the country — and even Washed Up 45’s attorney general, William Barr — have confirmed. Republican governors in Arizona and Georgia, key battleground states crucial to Biden’s victory, also vouched for the integrity of the elections in their states. Nearly all the legal challenges from Washed Up 45 and his allies were dismissed by judges, including two tossed by the Supreme Court, which has three of his nominated justices.
Still, some Fox News employees elevated false charges that Dominion had changed votes through algorithms in its voting machines that had been created in Venezuela to rig elections for the late dictator Hugo Chavez. On-air personalities brought on Washed Up 45's allies Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, who spread the claims, and then amplified those claims on Fox News' massive social media platforms.
Dominion said in the lawsuit that it tried repeatedly to set the record straight but was ignored by Fox News.
Sean "Softball" Hannity is toxic.
The company argues that Fox News, a network that features several far-right personalities, pushed the false claims to explain away the former president’s loss. The cable giant lost viewers after the election and was seen by Washed Up 45 and some supporters as not being supportive enough of the Republican.
Attorneys for Dominion said Fox News' behavior differs greatly from that of other media outlets that reported on the claims.
"This was a conscious, knowing business decision to endorse and repeat and broadcast these lies in order to keep its viewership," said attorney Justin Nelson, of Susman Godfrey.
Though Dominion serves 28 states, until the 2020 election it had been largely unknown outside the election community. It is now widely targeted in conservative circles, seen by millions of people as one of the main villains in a fictional tale in which Democrats nationwide conspired to steal votes from Washed Up 45, the lawsuit said.
Dominion’s employees, from its software engineers to its founder, have been harassed. Some received death threats. And the company has suffered “enormous and irreparable economic harm,” lawyers said.
One employee, Eric Coomer, told the AP he had to go into hiding over death threats because of the false claims. He has sued the 2020 campaign, conservative media columnists and conservative media outlets Newsmax and One America News Network.
Dominion has also sued Giuliani, Powell and the CEO of Minnesota-based MyPillow over the claims. A rival technology company, Smartmatic USA, also sued Fox News over election claims for a similar sum of money. Unlike Dominion, Smartmatic’s participation in the 2020 election was restricted to Los Angeles County.
Dominion lawyers said they have not yet filed lawsuits against specific media personalities at Fox News but the door remains open. Some at Fox News knew the claims were false but their comments were drowned out, lawyers said.
“The buck stops with Fox on this,” attorney Stephen Shackelford said. “Fox chose to put this on all of its many platforms. They rebroadcast, republished it on social media and other places.”
The suit was filed in Delaware, where both companies are incorporated, though Fox News is headquartered in New York and Dominion is based in Denver.
Fox News is barking over Vice President Kamala Harris not saluting.

It appears we're going through another Coffeegate "scandal."
The loyal opposition to President Joe Biden is coming at the Vice President, Kamala Harris with some of the most asinine topics. They're worked up over the vice president not saluting the military.
Harris is a civilian and public servant who works under the Biden administration. Her role is to be the ambassador on behalf of the president. She is the President of the Senate, who cast deciding votes for either the Democrats or Republicans when there's a tie.
When she is acting on behalf of the president, she does not (I repeat) does not have to salute the military.
But Fox News made such a stink about it. It led to a brief controversy and also Fox News not being questioned by the president on Thursday.
DISGRACEFUL: @VP Kamala Harris refuses to salute the honor guard at the steps of the aircraft. It is a clear demonstration of her dislike for those in uniform, both law-enforcement and military. pic.twitter.com/7QFHzamnt7
Fox published on Tuesday, attacking the vice president for "appearing to break with precedent and failing to salute the honor guard when boarding Air Force Two."
Fox made a point that former Vice President Mike Pence and President Joe Biden, regularly saluted the honor guard.
However, military experts were quick to fact-check the far-right network, pointing out that Harris is not in the chain of command and is therefore not required to salute.
The Commander in Chief returns salutes as a matter of courtesy (a practice started by Reagan), but the VP is a civilian who is not in the chain of command. It would be incorrect for her to salute anyone, and @FoxNews knows this. If other VPs did it, it was incorrect. https://t.co/62tcIOK5c3
Tom Nichols, a professor at the U.S. Naval War College corrected the report, saying it would be "incorrect" for her to salute and saying Fox "knows this."
Sean "Softball" Hannity also picked up the exaggerated angle for his own platform, writing an article titled: "Kamala Harris does not salute members of the military when boarding Air Force Two."
"The VP is not in the chain of command and even the president saluting isn't technically a thing and something adopted relatively recently," Military.com congressional reporter Steve Beynon insisted.
