A repeat offender who made the news last year when he went on the run for nearly a month pleaded guilty last week to his role in a carjacking ring that targeted Uber and Lyft drivers.

U.S. Attorney Andy Luger said Shevirio Kavirion Childs-Young, 20, pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court to one count of conspiracy to use, carry, and brandish firearms during and in relation to crimes of violence.

Childs-Young is one of four individuals named in a 30-count superseding indictment filed last August that describes a series of carjackings between September and October 2021. Around that time, the Minneapolis Police Department issued an informational alert about an uptick in carjackings targeting rideshare drivers.
