From MPD:

“The Metropolitan Police Department has identified a suspect in the fatal shooting that occurred early Saturday in the 1000 block of 14th Street, Southeast. The reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect has been increased thanks to contributions from our partners at the FBI Washington Field Office and U.S. Marshals Service.

On Saturday, July 5, 2025, at approximately 3:03 a.m., First District officers responded to the report of a shooting in the 1000 block of 14th Street, Southeast. Officers located a 3-year-old girl suffering a gunshot wound to the upper body. DC Fire and EMS responded to the scene and transported the girl to an area hospital, where she received treatment for critical injuries.

The preliminary investigation revealed that at least one suspect began discharging a firearm in the block, striking a parked vehicle where the girl was seated alongside family members.

On Monday, July 7, 2025, the victim succumbed to her injuries. The victim has been identified as 3-year-old Honesty Cheadle, of Southeast, DC. (more…)
