January 9th carjacking of three women in the Edgehill neighborhood.
Ke’Mariyah Lyons, 17, is charged with especially aggravated robbery and aggravated robbery for her role in the carjacking. Charges are pending against a 15-year-old male.
A third teen, Demarion Taylor, 15, was arrested on January 10th. He is charged with aggravated robbery.

Violent Crimes Division detectives today arrested a 15-year-old after he carjacked three women in the Edgehill neighborhood yesterday afternoon. The teen reportedly put a pistol to the driver’s stomach and demanded the keys to her 2022 Mercedes GLE 450.
While the victim instructed the teen and two accomplices on how to start the Mercedes, the suspects pistol whipped her before leaving the location near Villa Place. The victim sustained minor injuries during the incident.
With the assistance of an MNPD helicopter, detectives were able to follow the Mercedes to the 2000 block of Ed Temple Boulevard. A spike strip was successfully deployed, but due to the high rate of speed, the Mercedes was involved in an accident a short distance away. The driver hit by the Mercedes sustained minor injuries and refused medical treatment on scene.
The 15-year-old was taken into custody and will be charged in juvenile court. Violent Crimes Division detectives believe the teen is involved in other recent carjackings, so his booking photo is being withheld at this time for lineups.
