Kyree Young, a 17-year-old from Washington, D.C., has been charged with first-degree murder while armed – felony murder. The charge relates to an incident on May 7, 2025, in Northwest D.C., according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.
Young appeared before Superior Court Magistrate Judge Robert J. Hildum, who found probable cause for the charges and ordered that Young be held without bond pending trial. Authorities are still investigating potential accomplices involved in the case.
Court documents reveal that Young allegedly followed the victim from an ATM, struck him with a vehicle, robbed him, and attempted to access his financial accounts at the same ATM. The victim died at the scene of the incident. Police later recovered the vehicle used in the crime and gathered evidence leading to Young's identification.
The Metropolitan Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington Field Division are conducting the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jamie Carter is prosecuting the case.
It is important to note that these charges are allegations, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
