A suspected carjacker was shot outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

• Last week, an officer assigned to safeguard the homes of Supreme Court justices fired at an accused carjacker close to Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor's residence in Washington, D.C., according to officials.
• A deputy U.S. marshal in a parked car in the Northwest section of the city was confronted with a handgun by a suspect, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Last week, an alleged armed carjacker was shot by a deputy U.S. Marshal near the Washington residence of Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor while protecting the Supreme Court justices' homes.

According to the Metropolitan Police Department, Kentrell Flowers, an 18-year-old resident of Southeast D.C., is accused of brandishing a handgun at a marshal who was sitting in a parked car in the Northwest section of the city at approximately 1:15 a.m. ET on Friday.

The marshal and another officer in a separate vehicle fired at Flowers, who sustained non-life-threatening injuries, according to the MPD.

Police recovered a gun from the scene.

The MPD announced that Flowers has been charged with armed carjacking, carrying a pistol without a license, and possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.

On Friday, a criminal complaint was filed in D.C. federal court accusing Flowers of attempted carjacking and assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with a dangerous weapon. As of Tuesday afternoon, Flowers did not have an attorney listed on the court docket.

The U.S. Marshals Service did not confirm that the officers were parked outside Sotomayor's home. However, a spokeswoman for the service stated that they were part of the unit responsible for protecting the homes of U.S. Supreme Court justices.

In 2012, Sotomayor purchased a condo in the U Street area of D.C., where the incident took place.
