A 19-year-old Washington man was sentenced to seven years and six months in prison on Friday for an armed carjacking he committed when he was 17, according to the United States Attorney’s Office.
Jordan Grice pled guilty in August 2025 to one count of armed carjacking. Grice was sentenced under the Youth Rehabilitation Act, which provides for sentences shorter than the obligatory minimum of 15 years. Grice must also complete three years of probation.
Prosecutors had asked for the obligatory minimum and opposed a sentence under the act.
According to prosecutors, on August 16, 2024, Grice and another individual approached somebody sitting in his vehicle on the 1700 block of 10th Street NW. They brandished a weapon and demanded the man’s car keys and phone. After the man exited, the two entered his vehicle and drove away.
Prosecutors alleged that surveillance video captured the carjacking. Grice was wearing a court-ordered GPS monitor, which pinpointed him at the scene. Prosecutors claimed they had evidence linking him to a second armed carjacking later that night.
Grice was arrested on October 10, 2024, and has been in detention since.
The punishment was announced by US Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro and interim District of Columbia Police Chief Jeffery Carroll.
