ST. LOUIS • A St. Louis man was sentenced to 13 years in federal prison Wednesday for carjacking a woman in Lafayette Square in January.

Kenya Taylor, 18, threatened to kill the woman while stealing her car at gunpoint, and then led police on a high-speed chase during which he hit two other cars, according to court testimony.

Taylor was also "somewhat involved" in two other carjackings in 2016, Assistant U.S. Attorney John Bird said in court. He has a juvenile record including charges for tampering, carrying a concealed weapon and resisting arrest, U.S. District Judge Ronnie White said.

He suffers from physical problems from being shot in 2016 as well as depression and anxiety, White said, and was physically abused as a child.

Taylor's victim was sitting in the driver's seat of her 2000 Honda Accord after having made a delivery to a business in the 1600 block of Park Avenue on Jan. 31 when Taylor, who was wearing a black ski mask, opened her door and pointed a handgun at her, his plea says. Taylor pulled her from the car and drove away. The victim was not hurt.
