DC Police Chief Leads Prayer March for Murdered 3-Year-Old Girl

Carrying signs reading “Thou shalt not kill,” a group of clergy led by D.C. Police Chief Pamela A. Smith marched Tuesday evening to the site where a 3-year-old girl was fatally shot last week in the Garfield Heights neighborhood of southeast Washington .

The march was short, just three blocks from the 7th District police station. It drove past the fire station on Irving Street SE, where a family member had driven the fatally wounded Ty’ah Settles after Friday night’s shooting. Protesters then walked to Hartford Street SE, where police said a vehicle the girl was riding in was caught in the crossfire and she was hit by a stray bullet.
