A DC mom has turned her 12-year-old suspected carjacker son into police after his 13-year-old accomplice was shot dead by an off-duty cop believed to be their intended victim.
The boy, who was not identified, was processed in a juvenile court Wednesday afternoon.
His mother called the police on October 31 after seeing a photo the authorities shared of the suspect and recognizing the youngster.
Police used the 12-year-old's clothing, including a black hoodie, light gray joggers, and Jordan sneakers with a reflective tongue to connect the boy to the crime.
His alleged accomplice who was shot and killed is 13-year-old Vernard Toney Jr. Toney was described by his school principal as 'a smart and talented student.'
Toney, a seventh grader, had been a suspect in a number of previous carjackings. He was arrested in May in connection with several such crimes that occurred in Southeast DC.
It isn't clear what happened with those cases, although crime-ridden DC is notorious for recent efforts to lighten penalties for criminals in a bid to boost racial 'equity.'
'(Toney) was known to the Metropolitan Police Department, and it’s just unfortunate that this particular incident happened on Saturday night that caused him to no longer be here,' said Acting Chief of Police Pamela Smith.
His principal further described his 'natural comedic ability' and love of making people laugh, 'especially when he would joke that he was the principal of Kelly Miller MS. Vernard also loved to play basketball and spend his free time on the court with his friends.'

Aren't they all?
“caused him to no longer be here”It happened to him, not his fault.
At 12 or 13 most of us were stupid, too. Not stupid enough to carjack someone. But stupid nonetheless.

A distressing possibility is that he actually was good at school and funny and all the other positive things - but even then nevertheless thought that carjacking was a reasonable thing to do, and did it.
