On the afternoon of March 6, 2016, 39-year-old Ivy Tonett Smith, an African-American woman, was waiting at a bus stop in the 2800 block of Alabama Avenue SE in Washington, D.C., when gunfire erupted from a passing minivan. Smith was struck by multiple bullets, taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead. Two other people were injured; one suffered gunshot wounds and another sustained minor injuries from shattered glass, both reported in stable condition.

Investigators found the minivan, a four-door Honda Odyssey with Maryland handicap tags, had been stolen from a church in Prince George’s County about 36 hours earlier and was abandoned a few blocks from the scene. Authorities stated the shooting did not appear random but said it was unclear who the intended targets were.

A suspect named Xavier Hamilton was identified and charged in connection with the shooting. Anyone with information about Ivy Tonett Smith, the minivan, or the events that afternoon is urged to come forward.
