The incident, occurring on the afternoon of March 21, involved two suspects who confronted and subsequently robbed a group on the 1400 block of Irving Street, making off with a pair of headphones.

Turning himself in on April 14, he is, currently being held on charges of Robbery (Snatch). According to a press release from MPD, the juvenile's surrender led to his arrest under a D.C. Superior Court custody order.
