WASHINGTON - D.C. police are urgently seeking the public’s help in locating a woman and a vehicle involved in a possible kidnapping in southeast Washington.
According to police, the victim returned home early Friday morning. Police continue to search for the suspect involved in this incident.
The incident happened on Thursday just before 4 p.m. when officers say a male suspect reportedly forced a woman into a vehicle following an argument between the victim and the primary suspect, who were previously in a romantic relationship, according to police.
Police say the vehicle then fled the scene in the 400 block of Brandywine Street.
The vehicle, a white Infiniti Q54 sedan with West Virginia license plate 34D631, then drove away with both individuals inside.
The victim, identified as 21-year-old Amonie Anderson, is described by investigators as a Black female, approximately 5’3" tall, weighing around 170 pounds, with a light complexion. She was last seen wearing a light-colored tank top, light-colored sweatpants, and a black bonnet with writing.
According to police, the driver of the suspect vehicle was stopped and placed under arrest by Prince George’s County police for charges unrelated to the kidnapping offense. Police say the driver was not the primary suspect in the kidnapping. The victim returned home at approximately 1:15 a.m. with no injuries.
Anyone with information on the vehicle is asked to contact investigators at (202) 727-9099 or text tips to 50411. A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case.
