ST. PAUL, Minn. (KFGO) – A suburban Minneapolis man is the fifth of six people facing federal prison time for a string of armed carjackings in 2020 and 2021. The U-S Attorney’s Office says 23-year-old Isaiah Alstad of Columbia Heights received a sentence of just over nine years after pleading guilty to aiding and abetting carjacking. Court documents say he was a member of the ‘Top 5’ street gang.
Prosecutors say Alstad was involved in three carjackings on August 25th, 2020 in St. Paul. The first victim was carjacked at gunpoint and pistol-whipped, the second victim had their vehicle stolen in a restaurant parking lot, and the third carjacking happened near Metropolitan State University.
The sixth suspect remains in custody awaiting a court date.
