Two teenage girls have been charged in the carjacking death of an Uber Eats driver this week in Washington DC.
Mohammad Anwar, 66, of Virginia, was killed Tuesday afternoon, the Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement.
Anwar was working as an Uber Eats driver, according to a GoFundMe page set up by his family.
"We are devastated by this tragic news and our hearts go out to Mohammad's family during this difficult time," an Uber spokesperson said, according to affiliate WTOP.
"We're grateful the suspects have been arrested and thank the Metropolitan Police Department for their diligence with this investigation."
The girls, 13 and 15, assaulted Anwar with a Taser while carjacking him, which led to an accident in which he was fatally injured, police said.
The girls were charged with felony murder and armed carjacking, police said.
Anwar immigrated from Pakistan in 2014, his family said on the GoFundMe page.
He "was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend who always provided a smile when you needed one. He leaves behind a family, near and far, who cherish, love, and miss him dearly," the family said.
They added: "Words can not describe how our family is feeling currently. Devastation, confusion, shock, anger, heartache, and anguish are just a few that come to mind.
"We will carry him with us always, but it doesn’t take the pain away of losing him so tragically and so unexpectedly soon."
So far $292,000 dollars has been raised for his family, which includes an anonymous donation of $1,711.
