15-year-old girl gets maximum sentence for murder of Uber driver
The 15-year-old girl convicted of murdering an Uber Eats driver in Washington DC will be held in a juvenile detention center until she turns 21.
The teenager received the maximum sentence in court Friday, marking one month since she pleaded guilty to the fatal botched robbery.
Authorities said the girl, along with a 13-year-old accomplice, attempted to carjack Uber Eats driver Mohammad Anwar, 66, and killed him as they tried to speed away in his vehicle.
The two girls first asked Anwar for a ride and, after driving a few blocks, attempted to steal the car armed with a stun gun before crashing.
This comes after the 13-year-old pleaded guilty to second-degree murder this week and will be held in a juvenile detention center until her sentencing in July.
Anwar’s sister, Nargis Akbar, expressed her grief and said, “No amount of years spent in a detention center can make up for even the pain my brother went through.”
