Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser deleted a Twitter post on Sunday that advised people on how to prevent carjackings, following the death of a Pakistani immigrant after his vehicle was stolen by teenage girls.

Bowser, a Democrat, shared a post from police in the District of Columbia before adding her own statement saying: “Auto theft is a crime of opportunity. Follow these steps to reduce the risk of your vehicle becoming a target. Remember the motto, #ProtectYourAuto.”
