Context
Black Infinitis have surfaced in past high-profile D.C. investigations, including the 2018 killing of 10-year-old Makiyah Wilson, when prosecutors said a carjacked black Infiniti was used in the attack. That case illustrated how quickly a stolen vehicle can be used to move suspects and complicate an investigation, and detectives say even small details about a car’s plate, damage, or direction of travel could help now.
