Search for suspect after man struck by stolen vehicle

We continue to search for a suspect in relation to a pedestrian collision and attempted carjacking.

At around 12:45 p.m. today, Sunday, Aug. 23, 2020, we received several calls of a 66-year-old male pedestrian being runover multiple times, by the driver of a stolen vehicle, in the 4600 block of 83 Street N.W.

When witnesses confronted the suspect he produced a firearm. The suspect then got out of the stolen vehicle and approached the driver of another vehicle in the area, where he attempted a carjacking. A struggle took place and the suspect fled the area on foot after taking the second victim’s wallet.

An extensive search of the area led to discovering the handgun and several clothing items of the suspect.

The 66-year-old man was taken to hospital in non-life threatening condition.

Investigators continue to search for the suspect, a white man in his 20s with a slim build. He may be wearing a ripped white t-shirt and grey sweat pants.
