The two teenage girls charged with carjacking and murdering an Uber Eats driver in Washington, D.C., last month have reportedly reached a plea deal with prosecutors ensuring they won't spend any time in a prison facility.
The two young girls - ages 13 and 15 - allegedly attacked 66-year-old Mohammad Anwar with a stun gun near Nationals Park last month, causing his car to flip.
The Daily Mail reported Monday that the girls "Reached the plea deal with prosecutors that would ensure they will not be held past the age of 21 nor be placed in a prison facility."
Under District law, the 13-year-old girl cannot be prosecuted as an adult, but the 15-year-old girl could be prosecuted as an adult under certain circumstances.
The girls had been charged with felony murder and armed carjacking, but during their initial court appearance both pleaded "Not involved" - the juvenile equivalent to a plea of "Not guilty." Their identities have been withheld by law enforcement and media outlets due to their age.
Video of the incident shows the girls struggling with Anwar inside his Honda Accord before the car accelerated with him hanging outside the driver's side door.
The two girls can be seen attempting to escape from the vehicle and flee the scene before being stopped by National Guardsmen who happened to be nearby.
