Two deputies opened fire on a suspected carjacker just outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor last week.
A deputy U.S. Marshal was at his post outside Sotomayor’s home last Friday, July 5, when at 1:17 a.m., Kentrell Flowers, 18, emerged from a silver minivan and — in an apparent attempt to carjack the officer’s Dodge Durango — allegedly began rapping a pistol against the vehicle, according to court documents and law enforcement officials.
The teen is now charged with armed carjacking, carrying a pistol without a license, and possession of a large-capacity ammunition-feeding device. The suspect allegedly had a magazine with more than 10 rounds, which is illegal in Washington, D.C.
