Federal authorities and D.C. police said that a 17-year-old boy was arrested Monday and charged as an adult in last week’s armed carjacking of an FBI agent in Northeast.

Metropolitan Police and the FBI Washington Field Office said that Devonta Lynch of Southeast was charged with armed carjacking in connection to the violent car theft on Nov. 29.

Around 3:45 p.m. that day, police said Mr. Lynch and another suspect approached the FBI agent at gunpoint in the 100 block of 12th Street NE while the federal agent was getting out of the vehicle.

The two suspects fled in the vehicle, which authorities said was recovered around 4:10 p.m. in the 1000 block of 15th Street SE.
