Yes, for those who did not click through, from the police dept.:

A Washington, D.C. man is in custody following multiple carjackings and shootings in D.C. and Montgomery County on Saturday, March 11, 2023. The suspect was apprehended by Montgomery County Police 4th District officers in Wheaton.

Through the course of the investigation, Major Crimes detectives learned that earlier in the day, 43-year-old Monteray Horn had boarded a Metro train in Anacostia, and armed with a handgun on the train, Horn shot at an adult male. The bullet went through the victim’s clothing but did not strike the victim.

When the train stopped, Horn left the Metro and carjacked a vehicle at gunpoint in Washington, D.C. He abandoned that vehicle and boarded the Metro train, riding it to the Wheaton Metro stop where, at approximately 11:06 a.m., he attempted to carjack an Audi at the Westfield Wheaton Mall.

Horn pointed the gun at an adult female with two young children and demanded the keys to the Audi. The woman was able to get her children out of the car and run away. Horn entered the Audi and although he had the key, he was not able to start the car.

Horn abandoned the Audi and detectives believe that he tried to carjack a second car, which is reported to be a small red Honda. The driver of that car was able to get away.

He tried to carjack a third car, a BMW, in the parking lot, but the driver sped away. Horn fired into the BMW, shooting out a window. The female driver was not injured.

Horn then approached a woman in a Hyundai Tucson and attempted to open the door of the Hyundai. The adult female was able to drive away without injury.

Horn ran across the parking lot where he tried to carjack a fifth vehicle on Ring Road. Horn, fired at the adult female, shooting her in the face. Unable to steal her Honda Civic, Horn ran away.

4th District officers tracked Horn to a residential area in the 2900 block of Faulkner Place. Horn attempted to force his way into a house by smashing a window with the butt of his gun. Officers arrived and Horn was taken into custody without incident at approximately 11:15 a.m.
A .40 caliber handgun was located at the scene.

The driver of the Honda was transported to an area hospital where she underwent surgery. She is listed in serious, but stable condition.

Detectives are asking for the driver of the second attempted carjacking or any other witnesses to contact the Major Crimes Division at 240-773-5070.

Horn was arrested and charged with multiple counts of carjacking, attempted second-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a crime, felony possession of a gun, and home invasion. Horn had recently been released from a federal prison after serving 17-years for sexual assault of a child.

So what’s the excuse this time? He’s the victim of systemic racism which did not allow him to purchase a car, therefore he felt his only option was to steal one? So it’s all ok - we’ll just give him probation or something. I bet he’s committed to change.

Feel free to share actual quotes of people in MoCo excusing carjackings

Will he serve jail time?

You know I am not an expert but I am guessing yes. Why do you think he wouldn't? Is it because you live in an imaginary world where MoCo has decriminalized carjacking and attempted murder?

I think you are the one with a very creative imagination. Why was he even free to commit more crimes? His history shows he is a danger to the community.

Are you suggesting we lock up anyone who commits a violent crime, for life? I mean I get where you are coming from, but that's just really different from how our legal system currently operates and has operated for some time.

Sexual asault on a child? Yes, I do!

And here they said people were idiots for making the assertion that the purple line will spread crime all over MoCo. Case Study 101 of DC yet again exporting its crime to surrounding neighborhoods that just want to live in peace. Wait until criminals that DC let's off with zero punishment target all of the neighborhoods on the purple line because it is perceived that they have wealth.

Then man up, vote for real politicians and DAs with grit, and lock them up. You don't have to roll over and take it up the r*ctum like DC enjoys doing

I was assaulted in MoCo (Bethesda, to be specific) and had internal bleeding, bruises all over my body, and a concussion. MoCo DA let the assaulter, who had MULTIPLE prior convictions and had even served jailtime before, off with community service. They said that my injuries were not serious enough to warrant jail time.

Without knowing anything else about your situation that does sound horrible, but did you read what this guy did? It's a little worse than beating someone up.

Not PP but why are you getting snarky with an assault victim? They were relating their own experience, where someone who had multiple prior convictions and who had served prior jail time was nonetheless able to walk free after committing a violent crime. The point stands that the system is broken.

But if they were seeking wealth, they would target Bethesda or Arlington, both of which are very convenient via public transit. Instead he went to silver spring/Wheaton. And it seems to be a pattern that criminals choose silver spring. Why?

As someone who lives in the Wheaton area I've wondered this too. I think there is more police presence and enforcement in Bethesda (not sure about Arlington) so maybe they decide they will stand out?

Criminals would be more likely to find unlocked cars and unlocked doors in Bethesda, so I've always wondered this myself pp. That recent carjacker had to try at least, what five? cars in Wheaton and resort to shooting, and that still wasn't successful for him. You would think they would learn.

It's not snarky to say that the crimes being described on this thread go well beyond an assault.

A lot of crime is bleaeding in from DC into Montgomery county. Does anyone know if Erlich is working with Mayo Bowser to address the issue.

4th District officers tracked Horn to a residential area in the 2900 block of Faulkner Place. Horn attempted to force his way into a house by smashing a window with the butt of his gun. Officers arrived and Horn was taken into custody without incident at approximately 11:15 a.m.
A .40 caliber handgun was located at the scene.

The driver of the Honda was transported to an area hospital where she underwent surgery. She is listed in serious, but stable condition.

Detectives are asking for the driver of the second attempted carjacking or any other witnesses to contact the Major Crimes Division at 240-773-5070.

Horn was arrested and charged with multiple counts of carjacking, attempted second-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a crime, felony possession of a gun, and home invasion. Horn had recently been released from a federal prison after serving 17-years for sexual assault of a child.

And here they said people were idiots for making the assertion that the purple line will spread crime all over MoCo. Case Study 101 of DC yet again exporting its crime to surrounding neighborhoods that just want to live in peace. Wait until criminals that DC let's off with zero punishment target all of the neighborhoods on the purple line because it is perceived that they have wealth.

Then man up, vote for real politicians and DAs with grit, and lock them up. You don't have to roll over and take it up the r*ctum like DC enjoys doing

How can MoCo or NoVa residents vote in DC to make them get tough on crime? DC keeps exporting all of its violent criminals and crime to surrounding counties. People in the counties are powerless to stop DC from exporting all of the crime.

A Washington, D.C. man is in custody following multiple carjackings and shootings in D.C. and Montgomery County on Saturday, March 11, 2023. The suspect was apprehended by Montgomery County Police 4th District officers in Wheaton.

Through the course of the investigation, Major Crimes detectives learned that earlier in the day, 43-year-old Monteray Horn had boarded a Metro train in Anacostia, and armed with a handgun on the train, Horn shot at an adult male. The bullet went through the victim’s clothing but did not strike the victim.

When the train stopped, Horn left the Metro and carjacked a vehicle at gunpoint in Washington, D.C. He abandoned that vehicle and boarded the Metro train, riding it to the Wheaton Metro stop where, at approximately 11:06 a.m., he attempted to carjack an Audi at the Westfield Wheaton Mall.

Horn pointed the gun at an adult female with two young children and demanded the keys to the Audi. The woman was able to get her children out of the car and run away. Horn entered the Audi and although he had the key, he was not able to start the car.

Horn abandoned the Audi and detectives believe that he tried to carjack a second car, which is reported to be a small red Honda. The driver of that car was able to get away.

He tried to carjack a third car, a BMW, in the parking lot, but the driver sped away. Horn fired into the BMW, shooting out a window. The female driver was not injured.

I dunno Tysons Corner police weren't powerless to shoot the dumb*ss who robbed Tysons Corner center. I'd say we have plenty of power to treat crime however we want in our own areas.

But if they were seeking wealth, they would target Bethesda or Arlington, both of which are very convenient via public transit. Instead he went to silver spring/Wheaton. And it seems to be a pattern that criminals choose silver spring. Why?

I don’t know how to say this without sounding racist, but Silver Spring has plenty of people with money and a carjacking/robbery doesn’t necessarily lead to riches anyhow, it’s about getting in and out quickly without being noticed. Silver Spring/Wheaton are more conducive to that because these are areas that are crowded and diverse. It’s probably a lot easier to blend in before and after, and thus to get away with it. Whether housing prices are in the millions or $600K+ doesn’t really impact what the robber will walk away with.

Exactly, and criminals aren't dumb. You can rob silver spring because it is on the borders of PG and DC, so once you flee, cops have all sorts of problems with jurisdiction and often refuse to chase because of it once criminals cross country borders.
