Man åtalad för mord av andra graden efter skottlossning i gränd i Washington D.C.

Hakeem Jones, 28, står inför åtal om mord av andra graden efter att 25-åriga Jamillah Gales skjutits två gånger i ryggen i en gränd i nordvästra Washington. Händelsen inträffade sent på tisdagskvällen och hennes tvåårige son hittades oskadd i närheten. Jones hålls häktad utan borgen i väntan på en domstolsförhandling den 6 maj.

Polis i Metropolitan Police Department ryckte ut till rapporter om en skottlossning omkring klockan 22:52 på tisdagen i kvarteret 600 på Kenyon Street Northwest. De fann Gales medvetslös och med skottskador i en bakre gränd; hon förklarades död på platsen. Detektiver utfärdade ett Amber Alert för hennes lille son, som hittades oskadd i en bostad i närheten tillsammans med Jones och en annan man, som avskrevs från utredningen, uppger polisen. Vittnet berättade för utredare att Jones och Gales, som bott i lägenheten till och från, gick till affären ungefär en timme tidigare och bad honom vakta barnet. Jones återvände ensam och hävdade att Gales hade gått till en annan affär, enligt rättsdokument som WJLA tagit del av. Videoinspelningar visar hur paret går in i gränden innan Jones intar en skjutposition, sträcker ut armarna och riktar vad som ser ut att vara ett skjutvapen med en monterad ficklampa, framgår det av rättshandlingar via WTOP. Han avlossade två skott som träffade henne i ryggen. Utredare har ännu inte kunnat fastställa ett motiv. En GoFundMe-insamling för Gales beskriver henne som en hängiven mamma vars familj är förkrossad av förlusten.
