On the morning of April 14, 2023, 16-year-old Mylaki Young was fatally shot in the 200 block of V Street NW in LeDroit Park, Washington, D.C. The shooting occurred about 2:45 a.m. after a dark-colored SUV pulled up and three people got out and opened fire. Young ran into a nearby apartment building seeking cover but collapsed there and was found with no signs of life by police and medics. Investigators say he was believed to be the intended target.

Mylaki’s mother described him as once happy-go-lucky, but said his behavior changed after joining a new peer group; he had run away from home and was designated a person in need of supervision. Authorities asked the public to help identify a brown 2013 Lincoln MKX with D.C. plates reading DOMINGA as a vehicle of interest. An 18-year-old, Lorinzo Thompson, was questioned but not publicly named as a suspect, and no arrests have been announced.

Did anyone in LeDroit Park see a brown 2013 Lincoln MKX or other suspicious activity that night?
