Two 17-year-olds were arrested in connection with the murder of Capitol Hill intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro named the two suspects as Jaylin Lucas and Kevin Thomas Jr. She said both of the suspects were charged with murder while armed, which constitutes first-degree murder under D.C. law, and will be tried in adult court.

Pirro noted that Lucas and Thomas, though juveniles, have prior violent records in family court. She criticized D.C. leadership for coddling juvenile offenders in the past and added, "They don't need to be protected; they need to be held accountable, and we need to be protected."
