Vincent Adeniyi Oyegbami, 22, has been arrested in connection to an armed carjacking that was reported on Sunday, Aug. 6 in the 8300 block of Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring when he assaulted a man and stole his 2017 Mercedes E300 before fleeing.

Oyegbami was ultimately identified as the suspect and a warrant was issued late last month before he was later arrested leaving his Prince George’s County home following a brief foot chase.

A search of Oyegbami’s residence led to the recover of a loaded Glock 30 that may have been used in the carjacking and other evidence that tied him to the crime, officials said.

Oyegbami was arrested and charged with:

  • Armed carjacking;
  • Firearm use in a violent felony crime;
  • First-degree assault;
  • Second-degree assault;
  • Reckless endangerment;
  • Illegal possession of a firearm;
  • Theft and unlawful taking of a motor vehicle.

He is being held behind bars without bond.
