On the evening of November 7, 2017, 16-year-old Yoselis Regino Barrios was fatally wounded in a double shooting in an alley on the 1300 block of Rittenhouse Street NW in the Brightwood neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The shooting happened at about 8:15 p.m. An adult male was wounded in the same incident and survived; both victims were taken to a local hospital where Barrios was pronounced dead.

Investigators quickly suspected the shooting was connected to local gang activity and explored a possible link to a separate fatal shooting the next day that killed 22-year-old Jonathan Vilchez at a nearby market. Court documents identified suspects as affiliated with a Salvadoran-origin street gang called STC, or Street Thug Criminals, and suggested the violence may have stemmed from an internal dispute. Barrios’s family said he was not involved in gang activity and may have been mistaken for someone else; a cousin said the family knew the suspects and believed the dispute was over money.

In the weeks after the killing, authorities arrested two suspects. On November 22, 2017, a regional fugitive task force arrested 20-year-old Kevin Sorto and charged him with first-degree murder while armed.

Does anyone have information about Barrios, the people involved, or the red car seen leaving the area?
