Two teens have been arrested after police say they carjacked an Uber driver at gunpoint in northwest Miami-Dade early Thursday.
Deontay Bivins and Dave Petit-Homme, both 19, are facing armed robbery carjacking charges, Miami-Dade Police said. Both were booked into jail and it's unknown if they've hired attorneys.
Police said the teens hired an Uber driver to take them to Northwest 32nd Avenue and 67th Street. Once they arrived at the destination, Petit-Homme pulled out a semi-automatic firearm and Bivins pulled out a revolver, and a struggle ensued, police said.
The teens were able to order the driver out at gunpoint and then fled in his car, a gray 2014 Chevy Impala, police said. The car and the suspects were found a short time later in the 14200 block of Northwest 14th Drive and both were arrested, police said.
No one was injured in the encounter.
