A 3-year-old girl, Honesty Cheadle, was killed after a shooting in Washington, D.C. in the early morning hours of July 5, 2025. She was seated in a parked car with family in the 1000 block of 14th Street, Southeast after a fireworks display when a man allegedly approached the vehicle and opened fire, striking Honesty in the upper body at about 3:03 a.m. She was taken to a hospital in critical condition and died on July 7, 2025.

The Metropolitan Police Department investigated the case as a homicide and identified 24-year-old Charles Rucker as the sole suspect, using surveillance video from the area. An arrest warrant was issued, and members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested Rucker without incident on July 11, 2025. He has been charged with First Degree Murder while Armed. The motive remains under investigation.

Did anyone in the area see or record footage from that night that could help clarify what happened?
