Overview

• Sentencing came Tuesday, with a boy receiving 12 months’ probation after pleading guilty to felony assault, robbery and simple assault, and a girl receiving nine months’ probation after pleading guilty to simple assault.
• The judge allowed the boy to return home under strict house arrest, while the girl was remanded to a youth shelter, and the pair were ordered not to contact each other with limited travel permitted into D.C. for specific purposes.
• Police say the attack occurred during an attempted unarmed carjacking on Swann Street NW in early August, when multiple suspects confronted two people standing by a vehicle.
• Edward Coristine, 19, reported a broken nose and a concussion, saying he was swarmed by a group as he tried to protect a woman.
• The incident drew national attention, with President Donald Trump later ordering a temporary federal law-enforcement surge that included National Guard deployment, an emergency measure that expired in September.
