Angel Hall, a 25-year-old resident of Washington, D.C., was sentenced to 70 months in prison for her involvement in an armed carjacking that took place in Southeast Washington in 2024. The sentencing was announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.
Hall and her co-defendant, Brian Allison, age 56, both pleaded guilty on September 23, 2025, to one count each of carjacking and aiding and abetting. In addition to the prison sentence, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan ordered Hall to serve three years of supervised release after completing her term. Allison is scheduled for sentencing next month.
Court documents detail that on February 1, 2024, at approximately 11 p.m., Allison and Hall followed a woman into a takeout restaurant located on the 4500 block of Benning Road SE. After leaving without ordering food themselves, they followed the victim as she exited with her order.
Allison confronted the victim as she approached her vehicle while Hall acted as lookout. Allison displayed the butt of a pistol concealed in his pocket and said, “Gimme those fing keys or I’m gonna bust your head.”
After obtaining the victim’s keys, Allison demanded her phone and wallet and then requested the PIN number for her debit card. The victim complied after being threatened with death if the information was incorrect.
Allison attempted to open the trunk using the key fob to force the victim inside but failed. He then ordered her into the front passenger seat while Hall got into the back seat. Allison drove away with both women in the vehicle.
They traveled to a grocery store in Capitol Heights, Maryland. There, Allison instructed Hall to “bust” the victim if she tried to escape. Inside the store, Allison used the stolen debit card to withdraw $500 from an ATM and purchased food along with other items before returning to the car.
The group returned to Washington where Allison parked on Southern Avenue SE. He wiped down surfaces touched during the incident using one of the victim’s gloves before returning her belongings and fleeing with Hall on foot toward Central Avenue SE. The victim subsequently reported what happened at a local police station.
The investigation was conducted by members of both the Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI Washington Field Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Emory V. Cole prosecuted this case.
“Gimme those fing keys or I’m gonna bust your head,” said Brian Allison during commission of crime according to court documents.
Joining U.S. Attorney Pirro in announcing today’s sentence were FBI Assistant Director in Charge Darren B. Cox of the Washington Field Office and Interim Chief Jeffery Carroll of Metropolitan Police Department.
