The Metropolitan Police Department arrested three teens this week accused of participating in the May 16 brawl at a Chipotle restaurant in the District’s Navy Yard.
Witnesses reported that one group of youths was inside the Chipotle and that the fight began when a second group walked in. The juveniles involved fled the scene before police could arrive, and no injuries were reported to them or to bystanders inside the restaurant, the police said.
Police on Wednesday arrested a 15-year-old boy from Southeast Washington accused of being involved, then on Thursday apprehended a 16-year-old boy from Southeast and another 16-year-old from Temple Hills, Maryland.
All three are charged with simple assault and affray.
The police did not say whether the three suspects arrested were part of the group that was in the Chipotle initially or the second group that followed in the restaurant.
Authorities, including the FBI, are seeking a fourth suspect in the incident.
Anyone with information on the fourth suspect, shown in a wanted poster posted online by the FBI Washington Field Office, is asked to call the FBI at 202-278-2000 or the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099. People can also text the police at 50411.
The police are offering a $1,000 reward for information that helps them identify, arrest and convict the suspect, while the FBI is offering a $5,000 reward.
