2 teens charged in Southfield carjacking of a DoorDash driver
Two teens have been charged in a carjacking of a DoorDash driver in Southfield, Michigan, according to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office.
The two teens, ages 18 and 17, have each been charged with carjacking and carrying a concealed weapon.
According to the prosecutor's office, the teens allegedly stole a 2023 Dodge Charger from a DoorDash driver who was in the middle of making a delivery.
"One of the defendants is said to have threatened the victim with a firearm," the prosecutor's office said in a release Sunday.
Officials say the teens were taken into custody after a police chase that involved vehicles going over 100 mph. The Charger was recovered after the chase, and a firearm was found in the center console.
"Carjackings are more than just a property crime; they traumatize victims and endanger our communities," Oakland County Prosecutor Karen D. McDonald said.
Last month, a 26-year-old DoorDash driver was fatally shot in Ferndale. Police there say the shooting stemmed from an apparent road rage incident.
A 39-year-old Oak Park man has been charged in connection with the March shooting.
