A hapless carjacker failed to get away with the crime after his gun jammed, he forgot to release the parking brake and let a witness go, saying: “You good, I only rob white people,” according to the FBI.
Court records filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Detroit chronicle a failed carjacking that led to a 24-year-old man facing federal carjacking and firearm charges, which carry penalties of 25 or more years.
The carjacking happened Tuesday afternoon at Rouge Park on Detroit’s west side.
Brandon Lamar Williams, 24, allegedly approached two men inside a 2015 Ford Fusion while holding a revolver in each hand, according to the FBI.
Williams announced a hold-up and demanded an Apple Watch, two rings and a black bag from the first victim, according to federal court records.
