A17-year-old suspect has been arrested for the attempted armed robbery and carjacking of Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. back in August, according to Washington, D.C., police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Robinson was shot twice on Aug. 28 as the victim in an attempted robbery or carjacking in Washington D.C.

Robinson, 23, was released from the hospital on Aug. 29 after undergoing surgery for two gunshot wounds, one in the glute and the other near his right knee, during an attempted robbery in the nation’s capital the previous day.

Police arrested a suspect

At a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee said two other suspects are being sought in the incident - the other person with a gu‌n and the driver of the car in which the two teens left the scene.

Authorities are offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to a conviction. Contee credited tips from the public as a contributing factor that led to Wednesday’s arrest.

"Our vio‌lent crimes get solved because of good police work, community involvement and science," Contee said.

"All three of those things happened in this case. Like they do for every investigation of vio‌lent crime in our city, our detectives immediately started tracking down leads, and our community shared valuable information. Our federal partners at the ATF were able to use science to gather crucial evidence in this case."

Robinson made his NFL debut on Oct. 9 against the Titans. Robinson has rushed for 175 yards and one touchdown in four games.
