Three teens arrested after Chipotle fight in DC’s Navy Yard
Teens turned a Navy Yard Chipotle into a weapon fight with chairs and high chairs as families hid, and three arrests followed weeks later.
Three juveniles were arrested after a violent fight inside the Chipotle in the 1200 block of First Street SE in Navy Yard. The assault broke out at about 8:41 p.m. on May 16, when one group of juveniles was already inside and another entered, setting off a brawl in a busy dining room. No injuries were reported.
Video from inside the restaurant showed teens throwing chairs, tables and children’s high chairs as weapons while families with young children took cover. A father, Rafael Jauregui, said he had taken five of his children there after a Nationals game, and the escalation left his family shaken. Officers were already deployed nearby and reached the Chipotle within one minute of the call for a large fight.
Police released surveillance photos of four suspects on May 19 and asked for help identifying an additional suspect, offering up to $1,000 from the Metropolitan Police Department and up to $5,000 more from the FBI. Federal agents later joined the case. On June 10 and June 11, MPD arrested a 15-year-old boy from Southeast D.C. and two 16-year-old boys, one from Southeast D.C. and one from Temple Hills, Maryland. All three were charged with simple assault and affray, and police were still looking for another suspect captured on surveillance cameras.
