🚨 Armed Carjacking & Police Pursuit — St. Louis, Missouri (July 2023) On July 10, 2023, St. Louis officers responded to a violent armed carjacking near Compton & Meramec, where the victim reported that a man put a black revolver to his head, ordered him out of his gray 2002 Ford Mustang, and stole the vehicle. The next day, officers spotted the stolen Mustang with no plates and attempted a traffic stop. The driver — later identified as Ricky Washington (44) — fled at high speeds, running red lights and stop signs through city streets. After abandoning the Mustang, he escaped on foot. Residents in the area stated they saw a man in a shirt and boxers, covered in sweat, leaving the area, but officers were unable to locate him. Weeks later, Washington was arrested in an unrelated incident and admitted to being in the Mustang during the pursuit, though he denied committing the robbery. The victim later positively identified him in a photo lineup. Dash‑cam and surveillance footage also showed Washington driving the stolen Mustang during the July 11 pursuit.
