Caught on camera: Man robbed of Canada Goose jacket in Northwest DC
The Brief
Two people were robbed of their Canada Goose jackets in separate incidents in Northwest D.C.
One of the robberies was caught on camera and the video was shared exclusively with FOX 5.
At this time, police believe the two incidents are connected but no suspects have been identified at this time.
WASHINGTON - A D.C. man who was robbed of his Canada Goose jacket at gunpoint is speaking out. The shocking theft was all caught on camera and the victim says he's still in shock.
He spoke exclusively with FOX 5's Shomari Stone, saying that during the attack, he was thinking about his young children, fearing they may grow up without a father.
Victim Speaks Out
The man told FOX 5 that he was waiting for a rideshare in the 2000 block of 12th Street, NW, near U Street around 5 p.m. when suddenly, a car pulled up. The man immediately tried to run away when he saw that the suspect had a gun but he slipped as he was making his way up the driveway.
The suspect pointed the gun at the victim and demanded that he give up his Canada Goose coat, valued at $2,000.
Still laying on his back, the man takes off the coat as the suspect yanks it and also grabs the man's iPhone and keys.
The suspects then got into a black Hyundai Elantra with Virginia tags and sped away, leaving the man rattled.
"It's unacceptable, by and large," the victim told FOX 5. "That there is a culture right now, in our city, that this is happening. A lot of illegal things happen there, firearms."
He says given what's been happening across the District, he's "not as surprised as I should be. Just given some of things that I've seen being here in the city."
Another Victim in Northwest
Around 45 minutes later, there was another armed robbery where the victim's Canada Goose jacket was taken.
Police say a woman was walking out in the 3900 block of Wisconsin Avenue, NW, when a man pulled out a revolver and stole her $3,000 coat and wireless headphones. The suspect and another guy with him run away.
D.C. police believe the two armed robberies are connected. Anyone with information is asked to call MPD at 202-727-9099 or submit an anonymous tip to 50411.

Officers responded to a shooting incident in Auburn, Ala., at around 5:39 p.m. local time on Sunday, June 8, when they found Traci McDuffie, 52, and her son Brandon, 25, dead inside a home, the Mobile Police Department (MPD) said in a news release. 'The investigation revealed Brandon McDuffie fatally shot his mother, Traci McDuffie, and that's when Traci's other son discovered what occurred,' police said in the release, then claiming that Brandon 'shot towards the other son, causing the other son to defend himself by shooting Brandon." Brandon and Traci got into an argument, which resulted in the first round of gunfire, NBC 15 reported, citing authorities. MPD Public Information Officer Blake Brown told the outlet, "Once the initial shooting did take place, there was some sort of communication to let the other son know." The MPD said in its news release, "The death of Brandon McDuffie will be presented to a grand jury," while Traci's "death has been abated by" her son's. The second son was identified in a post on Facebook from the First Baptist Church of Baltimore Street, Inc. as 32-year-old Brent McDuffie, Traci's eldest child. It is not immediately clear if Brent was arrested or currently faces any charges. "Please continue to lift Brother Brent McDuffie and the family up in prayer during their time of bereavement,' the church wrote in its social media post. The First Baptist Church of Baltimore Street, Inc. added that it plans to hold a celebration of life service for the family members on Saturday, June 21. Traci was described on Facebook by a family friend as 'an exceptionally kind individual who will truly be missed.' The woman's sister said following her death, 'There is nothing bad that can be said about her. She was a hard worker and loved her live music," per a Facebook post from WALA Fox 10 reporter Ariel Mallory. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?
