Baller Alert It's a lifestyle!
On July 16, tragedy struck in Northeast D.C. after a group of four masked men opened fire on a large crowd, leaving a 10-year-old girl dead and four others injured.
The incident occurred in the 300 block of 53rd street around 8 p.m. when a black Infiniti sedan pulled into a courtyard and began firing in serval directions before fleeing the scene.
A surveillance camera in the area captured the entire incident that left 10-year-old Makiyah Wilson with a fatal shot to the chest. Though officials attempted to resuscitate her with CPR before she was transported to a local hospital, the rising fifth-grader was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Four adults were also injured, as 50 to 70 shots were fired in the incident. However, officials are still looking to locate the four suspects.
