10-Year-Old Girl Dead, Multiple Injured In Northeast DC Shooting

WASHINGTON, DC — A 10-year-old girl was killed and multiple others were injured in a shooting in Northeast DC Monday night, police said.

The girl was identified as Makiyah Wilson, of Northeast.

Police said four men opened fire in a courtyard area of 300 block of 53rd St. NE. at around 8 p.m.

About 15 to 20 people were "out enjoying the weather," when the shooting occurred, Assistant D.C. Police Chief Chanel Dickerson said.

Police responded to the area for the sound of gunshots and located Wilson, a man and a woman suffering from gunshot wounds.

Dickerson said four masked suspects got out of their car, fired shots, got back into the car and drove away.

The suspects drove a black, four-door Infiniti sedan that is missing the rear bumper (see photo below).

It is unclear whether the victims were intended targets, Dickerson said. An investigation is underway.

Wilson and multiple adults were transported to local hospitals. Wilson was declared dead after all life-saving efforts failed.
