DC council candidate carjacked in broad daylight on camera demands stronger community policing
Fox News
A Democratic candidate for Washington D.C. City Council carjacked in broad daylight by masked men in the nation’s capital over the weekend is demanding better community policing to tackle the public safety crisis, exasperated by an increased trend in young offenders carrying violent crime.
Nate Fleming, a Democrat attorney running for D.C. Council at-large, tweeted a link to the police video claiming he was the victim of the carjacking. Video shows four masked individuals pull up in a red SUV and quickly jump out. One brandished a gun, pointed it at Fleming and demanded his car keys, according to a statement released by the candidate. Fleming turned over his keys, and the suspects drove off.
The video shows one of the suspects run into the gas station's convenience store. Police asked anyone who can identify the people or the vehicles in the video to call 202-727-9099 or text 50411.
