A video released by police officials shows a silver or gray car driving through the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE and Malcolm X Avenue SE. Several gunshots can be seen being fired from the vehicle.

The car was set on fire after the incident.

NBC Washington reported the slain child as Nyiah Courtney; two women and three men were shot. Nyiah was rushed to a hospital and pronounced dead. The two women and three men were all treated for their gunshot wounds and are expected to recover. Their identities were hidden because they are considered witnesses in the case, D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee said.
