On the morning of Wednesday, January 17, 2018, 23-year-old Jasmine Lashai Light was killed in a drive-by shooting outside a convenience store in the 2000 block of 16th Street SE in the Fairlawn neighborhood of Southeast Washington, D.C. A light-colored sedan drove past and a gunman fired; Light was the most severely wounded of four people hit. The three other victims, all men, suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

Police later identified and arrested 21-year-old Torey G. Stockton of District Heights, Maryland, alleging he fired at least 15 shots from the moving vehicle. Investigators say the attack was misdirected retaliation: Stockton was reportedly enraged over the theft of his gold-plated Glock and opened fire on people he believed were connected to the theft, and Light was not the intended target. Stockton was charged with first-degree murder.
