Ten-year-old Makiyah Wilson, an African American girl, was fatally shot in Northeast Washington, D.C. on July 16, 2018. She was near an ice cream truck in the courtyard of her apartment complex in the Clay Terrace neighborhood when multiple masked individuals emerged from a car and opened fire indiscriminately into the crowd. Over 50 shots were fired; Makiyah was killed and several others, including her older sister, were wounded.

Investigators linked the attack to a feud between local groups and identified suspects tied to the Wellington Park crew. Authorities say the suspects used a carjacked black Infiniti in the shooting, and one person arrested for that carjacking provided information that helped identify participants. Several people have since been arrested and charged in connection with the attack.

What details about that evening or the people involved might help clarify how such a brazen attack unfolded in a residential courtyard?
