On the afternoon of January 26, 2025, 14-year-old Myron Smith was shot multiple times in the 4000 block of South Capitol Street Southwest, Washington, D.C. Officers arrived after a 2:28 p.m. report and found Smith with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. The incident is described as a robbery that turned fatal while Smith stood outside his apartment building.

Surveillance video reportedly shows assailants exiting a stolen white Kia Optima and attempting to rob Smith. An altercation occurred during which Smith was shot; the suspects fled in the Kia. The Sixth District located the vehicle and detained its occupants, recovering two firearms. Three teenagers from Northeast, D.C., were arrested: a 14-year-old male charged with felony murder and carrying a pistol without a license, and two 16-year-old males charged with carrying a pistol without a license. The 14-year-old has rejected a plea offer and chosen to go to trial.
