DALLAS<\/strong> – A Dallas, Texas man pleaded guilty to his role in a carjacking a Corvette and high-speed chase that took place with Dallas police in the Deep Ellum section of Dallas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

22-year-old Travion Amar Williams appeared before United States Magistrate Judge David Horan on August 26, 2025, and entered a guilty plea to one count of carjacking and one count of brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.<\/p>\n

During the re-arraignment hearing, Williams admitted that on December 6, 2023, two people were walking to a 2020 Chevrolet Corvette, belonging to one of them. Williams and two coconspirators were wearing masks and sitting in a car parked next to the victim\u2019s Corvette.<\/p>\n

As the victims approached the Corvette, Williams and one of his coconspirators, armed with handguns, exited their vehicle and approached both victims. By force, they took the keys to the Corvette, a bracelet, a cell phone, and a wallet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Williams and his coconspirator got into the Corvette with the stolen property and drove away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
