Three D.C. men have been indicted on charges related to a carjacking and robbery crime spree that lasted multiple weeks and involved one of the men climbing through a McDonald’s drive-through window in a failed attempt to steal the cash register, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C.
The spree ultimately ended March 28, after a police shooting in Prince George’s County outside a GameStop.
The three men, Kanard Bishop, 26, Edward LeRoy Brown, 24, and Khalil Boyd, 18, have all been indicted for charges related to the spree. Filed in U.S. District Court for D.C. April 10, the 14-count indictment alleges that Bishop, Brown (also known as “Shiesty”), and Boyd targeted fast food restaurants, convenience stores, and package delivery vehicles while driving around in stolen cars from March 17 through 28.
On March 17, the indictment alleges that the three men, wearing masks, carjacked a 2008 Mercedes Benz at gunpoint on the 4300 block of Southern Avenue SE, taking the victims’ “car, phones, wallet and cash.”
On March, 20, the indictment alleges, the men carjacked a 2018 Dodge Durango with black racing stripes and committed six armed robberies, including at least two unsuccessful robbery attempts at two separate McDonald’s restaurants.
According to a press release from the USAO, around 3 a.m. at a McDonald’s in Capitol Heights, “two masked, armed suspects climbed through a drive-thru window and attempted to open the register by pressing random buttons but were unsuccessful.”
The crew then allegedly robbed the Denny’s on Benning Road NE. “The employee couldn’t open the cash register so the gunmen ripped the register off the counter and fled,” according to prosecutors. Less than an hour later, the crew allegedly hit another McDonald’s, this time in Landover. “One of the gunmen attempted to climb through the drive thru window but was pushed back out by the cashier,” according to the USAO’s press release.
The thefts continued on March 27, when the three men allegedly carjacked a 2022 Dodge Challenger in District Heights. Hours later, they allegedly stole several packages from a FedEx truck.
The final string of robberies allegedly occurred March 28, when the men were caught in the 2022 Dodge Challenger attempting to rob a GameStop in the 5700 block of Silver Hill Road in District Heights. Detectives from the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Carjacking Interdiction Unit had been watching the stolen car when they identified Brown and Bishop, who walked into the video game store and attempted to rob it.
Bishop fled on foot and was apprehended after a short chase. A detective shot at Brown in the parking lot, striking him in the lower body. Boyd, the getaway driver, led police on a car chase and was arrested in D.C. During the arrest, police recovered loaded guns on Bishop and Brown.
