A 12-year-old girl was shøt by a masked assailant in Washington, D.C., after she and two teen girls b+at an elderly disabled man to d£ath last year, Daily Mail reports.
Reggie Brown, a 64-year-old Northwest D.C. resident, di£d after he was a§§aulted by three girls, age 12 and 13, on Georgia Avenue on Oct. 17, 2023.
Horrific video seen by detectives showed the physically handicapped man being k+cked and st%mped on by the pre-teens. Officers responded to the 6200 block of Georgia Avenue at about 12:55 a.m. He had inj¥ries consistent with an a§§ault and was pronounced d£ad at the scene, police said. An autopsy determined he died of blunt force tra¥ma and was a homicide victim.
Detective Harry Singleton testified on Friday that a man in a blue coat threw the 64-year-old to the ground and then the suspect along with the group of girls chased Brown as he tried to escape. After the 1am b+ating, the girls ‘appeared to be in a celebratory mood’ as they walked away from the scene of the crime,
“My uncle really didn’t deserve this,” a niece of Brown’s said in a statement to News 4. “He was known in this community for years so for this to happen where he lived for 64 [years] is insane. They have to be held accountable!”
Detective Singleton found no connection between Brown and the three girls, who are not being identified due to their ages. In a shocking twist of events, the 12-year-old girl linked to the crime was sh%t in her apartment on Friday at around 4am. Her Peabody Street apartment in the 500 block is only about a half-mile away from the scene of the br¥tal b+ating.
The gunshot hit the girl in the leg and she was taken to hospital with non-life-thrEatEning injYries. Five months after the brYtal b+ating of the 64-year-old disabled man, the three girls have been arrested in relation to Reggie Brown’s de th.
On Friday, the 12-year-old and one of the 13-year-olds were charged with second-degree mYrder, the other 13-year-old was arrested and charged with second-degree m¥rder on Thursday. All three of the girls involved are resident of Northwest D.C. but it remains unclear how and if they knew Brown or how the detectives built their case against the pre-teens.
