An evening after-prom celebration in Frederick, Maryland ended with the death of 18-year-old Genesis Marie McCarter-Berretto of Gaithersburg. On May 13, 2018, a physical altercation at a Weybridge Road residence began in the basement and spilled outside. Witnesses identified 17-year-old Ean Lanell Davis-Lattimore as the person who, after the dispute, fired a gun toward the house. Genesis was struck in the neck and found near the front door with a gunshot wound to her upper body; she was pronounced dead at the scene. A juvenile male was also shot in the leg and survived with non-life-threatening injuries. Eight shell casings were recovered from the driveway, and investigators concluded neither victim was the intended target.

Davis-Lattimore was arrested and charged as an adult. In August 2019 he pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and received a 10-year sentence in the Division of Corrections; the judge recommended placement in a youth program at Patuxent Institution and ordered five years of supervised probation following release. Did anyone at the party or nearby see what led to the fight or can provide further information about the moments before the shooting?
