WASHINGTON (DC News Now) -- D.C. police said two teenagers have been charged in connection to a robbery spree including one that left a DJ dead. According to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), on Sunday around 5 a.m., officers responded to a report of a man who was unconscious in the 500 block of T Street NW. There, police found a man, later identified as Bryan Smith, 39, of Northwest, D.C. unresponsive on the sidewalk. Police said he was taken to the hospital with critical injuries. According to detectives, when they found Smith, he did not have any identification on him and there was no evidence that a crime had taken place. Later that day, Smith's identity was confirmed after family and friends reported him missing. On Nov. 7, Smith died from his injuries. His body was taken to the Northern Virginia Medical Examiner's Office to determine his cause of death.

Detectives then discovered that the same suspects, shown in the video, were allegedly linked to three additional robberies in the District. Police said the first incident happened in the 1900 block of 14th Street when two people assaulted a person and tried to rob them before leaving the area. About five minutes later, the two suspects robbed a person in the 1800 block of Vermont Avenue. The final incident happened around 7:22 a.m. when the pair robbed a second person in the 900 block of Rhode Island NE. DC man charged in connection to 17 armed robberies across DMV "For the last two weeks, our detectives have worked around the clock investigating these cases. They canvassed a wide area around each offense uncovering video footage critical to identifying the suspects. We were also able to track cell phones taken in the robberies and monitor transactions made on stolen credit cards," said Ramey J. Kyle, the Assistant Chief of the MPD, during a press conference on Friday. On Thursday, Nov. 14, a 16-year-old boy and 14-year-old boy were arrested and charged with three counts of Robbery and one count of Assault with Intent to Commit Robbery. Investigators said they are both facing additional charges including fraud. DC News Now spoke to one victim of the teens, who we are not identifying for safety reasons. “The 14-year-old said repeatedly, ‘I’m going to shoot you, give me your phone. I’m going to shoot you.’ It was so jarring,” he said. “I was walking to my car, I was going to get groceries, it was 7:22 in the morning and suddenly this violent thing was happening.” The victim was targeted on Rhode Island Avenue NE. He said it was shocking to know the same people who targeted him were involved in Smith’s death. “It’s so hard to reconcile that a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old threatened to put a bullet in [me] repeatedly and they killed someone,” he said. “A perfectly lovely, innocent person is dead because of the actions of a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old.” Despite claims made by Smith that the Metropolitan Police Department is focusing on addressing juvenile crime, the victim said this has been an ongoing and growing problem. He was assaulted last year by another teenager at a metro stop. He’s begging city leaders to take accountability.  “It is somewhat comforting knowing they’ve been arrested,” said the victim. “What concerns me is the repeated release of these violent criminals back into the community. If I could plead with Mayor Bowser, or the Attorney General, or the US Attorney, please don’t let Bryan Smith die in vain. Please take this seriously.” One local who goes by the name "Aaron" called the youth crime "really ridiculous." "I think [the problem] has to go with home, parental. I think parents need to be involved in the children's lives, you know. They have access to too many weapons," he said. "There is no indication at this time that these four robbery cases were motivated by hate or bias. There is no connection between these offenses and a potentially hate-motivated assault that occurred earlier that morning," said MPD Chief Pamela Smith.
