A dispute in an alleyway on a Sunday afternoon in Washington, D.C. ended in the death of 46-year-old Donald B. Childs. On July 30, 2023, at about 2:43 p.m., police responding to a reported shooting in the 100 block of Farragut Street Northwest found Childs with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries.

Investigators say surveillance footage captured an individual believed to be 29-year-old Iesha Marks of Bowie, Maryland, involved in a dispute before getting into a black Toyota Camry. The same vehicle reportedly returned about 20 minutes later and shots were fired from inside, fatally wounding Childs. A second person, 21-year-old Daniel Bangura of Southeast, D.C., was later arrested. Both have been charged with First Degree Murder While Armed. Motive and any specific relationship between the suspects and Childs have not been released, and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone has information about what led up to the shooting or saw activity around Farragut Street that afternoon, please share what is known with investigators.
