In Oxon Hill, Maryland, a Marine veteran named Jheyco Borda demonstrated remarkable courage when he thwarted an attempted robbery by a group of teens. The incident, captured on surveillance video, unfolded as Borda was working on his car. He was approached by six teens, one of whom pointed a gun at him, demanding his car keys and valuables.

Marine Training in Action

Borda, recalling his military training, managed to wrestle the armed teen to the ground. During the struggle, a gunshot was fired, but fortunately, no one was injured. Borda credits his combat training for his ability to handle the dangerous situation effectively. His brother also played a crucial role by confronting the teens, helping to de-escalate the situation.

Community Concerns

This is not the first time such an incident has occurred in Borda’s neighborhood. He recounted a similar event two years prior, where a vehicle was stolen in the same location. These repeated incidents raise concerns about safety and crime in the community.

Ongoing Investigation

The Prince George’s County Police Department confirmed that two male teens have been arrested in connection with the attempted robbery. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to determine the involvement of the other four teens.
