Arianna Davis was shot by a stray bullet while riding in a vehicle with her family on Mother's Day. She died a few days later.
in the 3700 block of Hayes Street NE, not far from where she lived.
No arrests have been made in the shooting. On Saturday, a spokesperson for D.C. police said the homicide “remains under active investigation.” Earlier this week, Police Chief Robert J. Contee III said no further information about suspects in the incident was available. “It breaks my heart,” he said. He added: “As long as we’re having the conversation about people dying as a result of illegal handguns in the hands of people who shouldn’t have them, then we got a lot of work left to do.”At the vigil Saturday, Arianna’s father, Will, who would only give his first name, said Arianna was one of four — “a beautiful angel.”The family has been isolated for the past few days — holding vigil at the hospital — and isn’t sure what is going on with the investigation.
Nearby, a tween girl sobbed and little kids ran circles around a tree, playing with some of the balloons. Just before 6:30 p.m., the attendees gathered around a photo of Arianna before releasing the balloons into the air. “Fly high baby,” someone said. “She’s flying.”
