The Culver City Police Department has made multiple arrests in connection with an armed robbery that occurred on December 3, 2025, at the 13400 block of Washington Boulevard.
On December 3, 2025, officers responded to a report of a robbery that had just occurred at a motel located at the 13400 block of Washington Boulevard. Officers discovered that the victims were returning to their motel room when two vehicles entered the parking lot shortly after their arrival. Multiple armed suspects exited both cars. One suspect forcibly kicked open the motel room door while additional suspects demanded the victim’s property. The suspects fled with multiple duffel bags and suitcases belonging to the victims.
Officers conducted an immediate area check, though the suspects were not located at that time. Detectives and the Forensics Unit from the Culver City Police Department responded and immediately launched an investigation.
Through forensic analysis, CCPD identified a suspect connected to the crime and located one of the vehicles used during the commission of the robbery. On December 11, 2025, detectives located and arrested 24-year-old suspect Jaheim Kevonte Hickman and 21-year-old suspect Derjay Lamar Garrett, both of Los Angeles.
Detectives continued efforts to locate additional suspects connected to the crime. This led CCPD to Vermont Avenue and 103rd Street in Los Angeles on December 16, 2025, where they located an additional suspect. A high-risk traffic stop was conducted, and 19-year-old suspect Timothy Lee Leonard of Los Angeles was taken into custody without incident.
