"District police said in a tweet that the shooting occurred around 5:30 p.m. on 10th & H Street NE, near Ben’s Chili Bowl."

Ever get takeout or eat at Ben's Chili Bowl? Dinner time! Does it get scrubbed from the list? And the victim is young, physically fit certainly but no match for DC teen criminals. Honestly, how did teenage guys not recognize him? I'm not a huge football fan yet when I see these guys going about normal person stuff even I get the know them from somewhere...

Unconfirmed reports say he was NOT in a flashy car. But I'm guessing it was at least a somewhat nice new vehicle, and you can tell when a young man has money from his fashion, designer sneakers, and likely wears a nice watch. I doubt the kids knew he was the new starting running back of the Commanders.

It was a Dodge Charger, which is flashy in a specific kind of way that might be appealing to a teenager looking to carjack someone. Lots of people in that neighborhood drive Subarus and Toyotas that probably cost more than his car, but those cars are less likely to be targeted by carjackers.

This is in no way blaming Robinson for being attacked -- no one deserves to be robbed or shot, I don't care how flashy your car is. He had every right to be drive what he wanted and the people I hope the people who attacked him and the woman who was also shot get brought to justice.

But as someone who lives in the neighborhood, this is something we have discussed due to the uptick in carjackings. We do not and will not drive certain kinds of cars here because they attract a kind of attention I do not want. Anything that lowers my risk is worth taking into account.

I can't understand why anyone would tolerate living in an area where your choices of cars, of clothing, or of jewelry is predicated on what might get you mugged or carjacked.

He is really a top tier athlete and a very handsome young man.

I feel so bad for him! All that work just to be stupidly shot in the hip? Really hope he can recover.

But you owe that much to the disenfranchised.

It is the least you can do.

As long as it stays out of those neighborhoods it will have zero impact.

Not to nitpick but he was in a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat...it's a pretty sweet car.

I'm the PP and I stand corrected. When I heard "non flashy sedan" I would never assume a Hellcat. That *is* absolutely a very flashy car and makes you a target for theft and carjacking.

Was his Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat parked in a bike lane? Because that might be one way to get our government to care about what happened here....

Very true. Very true.

Would have resulted in an immediate police response.

Subaru and Toyota don’t offer even a single vehicle that costs as much as a Charger Hellcat Widebody. Even a fully-optioned Land Cruiser, the MOST expensive vehicle Toyota sells, is still more than $30k less than that Charger.

I am not sure why this is relevant unless you feel that the victim deserved it due the type of car they drive. But beyond that, it just makes zero sense because every type of car in DC is potentially subject to carjacking. Yes, even your Subaru and perhaps especially your Camry which I think is the most commonly carjacked vehicle in the city.

Football players often look pretty normal. To the carjackers trying to rob him, he probably seemed like a random out-of-towner rich college student from Howard i.e. an easy mark.

I remember when two dudes tried to rob my husband who looks nondescript as you say. They called him a "bama" (special DC Chef kiss) and asked him to offload his wallet at an ATM in gallery place. He's kind ofow key nerdy special forces and told them he would kill them both. Anyway, they do tend to misread the signs. They're so juiced, love to front, don't care about life, live to humiliate..these kids need to be locked up with Chinese style re education, not Charles Allen air kisses.

It was in response to a poster who chided another poster about how “people in that neighborhood have Subarus and Toyotas that cost more than a Dodge Charger”. No one has a Subaru or Toyota that costs more than a Hellcat.

Per capita, in inner-cities, those V8 engine Chargers and Challengers are certainly stolen and carjacked more frequently than a random Subaru or Camry. It’s a very loud and sought after car by criminals.
