by CEDRIC 'BIG CED' THORNTON July 20, 2021 ------------------------- A mass shooting over the weekend in Washington D.C. left a six-year-old girl dead as well as her mother and

several others wounded. According to CNN, the girl was shot and killed and five adults were also injured in the drive-by shooting that took place after 11 p.m. Friday in the southeast part

of the district outside a liquor and convenience store. 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. > Today our city is heartbroken. A child’s life was taken,

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. “We’re asking…that everyone post that video far and

wide,” Contee said. “That car should not be able to be in the DMV area anywhere and not be noticed. Someone in the community has seen that car operating, yesterday, perhaps today, and I’m

asking justice for Nyiah. Let’s find that car and let’s find the individuals responsible.” > Last night, 6 year-old Nyiah Courtney tragically lost her life to > senseless gun violence.
