Second Makiyah Wilson Shooting Suspect Turns Himself In

WASHINGTON, DC — A second suspect turned himself in to police in connection with the shooting death of 10-year-old Makiyah Wilson, according to reports.

The Washington Post says Quentin Michals, 21, of Southeast Washington turned himself in to police early Monday after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Michals was charged with first degree murder while armed.

Police arrested Qujuan Thomas, 20, of Southeast on Saturday. He was also charged with first degree murder while armed.

Police said two more people are wanted in Wilson's killing. Mayor Muriel Bowser tweeted Monday, "To the others involved in the Makiyah Wilson shooting, turn yourselves in now because we will find you. If you have any information regarding this case, please call 202-727-9099 or text 50411."

Wilson was killed near her home in Clay Terrace on July 16. Police said four masked men opened fire in a courtyard area of 300 block of 53rd St. NE. around 8 p.m. that day, killing Wilson and injuring others in the crowd.

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

Video shows the suspects, armed with handguns and at least one assault weapon, fired over 70 rounds in multiple directions, officials said at the time. The suspects got in and out of black, four-door Infiniti sedan.

The car involved in the shooting was located in Prince George's County and the man who stole the car was arrested earlier this month. Kevin Eugene Jones, 20, of Lanham was charged by the Prince George's County Police Department with armed carjacking, first- and-second-degree-assault, use of a firearm in a felony and theft of the car.

Police said the carjacking happened on July 1, about two weeks before Wilson was fatally shot near her home in Clay Terrace.

"When the dust settled, 10-year-old Makiyah Wilson was left dead and four others had suffered gunshot wounds," he said.

The investigation remains ongoing and police said they will continue to need the public's help to find those responsible for Wilson's death.

Anyone with information is asked to call 202-727-9099 or text 50411. Additionally, anonymous information may be submitted to the department's TEXT TIP LINE by sending a text message to 50411.
