Alana Washington was a 7-year-old girl killed in a drive-by shooting in Miami’s Brownsville neighborhood on July 25, 2020. She was struck in the head while getting out of a car in front of her home just after 8 p.m., after the family returned from a flea market. More than two dozen rounds were fired from a gray Nissan Altima; three other people were wounded, including a 1-year-old child. Alana was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital and taken off life support two days later.

Investigators say the gray Nissan followed the family from the flea market and that the attack targeted Alana’s brother over a grievance. Surveillance footage and anonymous tips were cited in identifying two men later charged in the case: Antonio Robinson, 22, and Jarvis Baker-Flanders, 23, both charged with second-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. Robinson was arrested in Miami-Dade and held without bond; Baker-Flanders was arrested in Georgia and awaited extradition.

The community response and law enforcement statements stressed the tragedy of an innocent child killed while returning home. If anyone witnessed the shooting or has additional information about the events that evening, please share what is known with investigators.
