At around 3:10 p.m., police responded to a shooting, where they found 16-year-old Taiyania Thompson, a resident of Northeast D.C. suffering from a gunshot wound inside of a residence. She was transported to a local hospital where she succumbed from her injuries three days later on Jan. 28.
The MPD has not identified any suspects, but a vehicle of interest has been identified in the case. The vehicle is described as a 2017 white Kia Sorento SUV.
