A teenage boy was fatally shot over the weekend in the Anacostia neighborhood of Southeast D.C., according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Following reports of a shooting around 11:05 a.m on Saturday, police found 16-year-old Jakhi Snider suffering from a gunshot wound on the 1600 block of Morris Road, near Fort Stanton Park. Emergency responders rushed Snider to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries.

MPD said they think Snider was directly targeted in the shooting. The department has opened an investigation into the incident. As of Monday, no one had been charged with the shooting. Officers initially arrested someone with a weapon near the scene of the crime, but police now say that person was not associated with the shooting.

The deadly shooting adds to the already grim toll that gun violence has taken on children in the District this year. As of Monday, 18 kids have died by homicide in D.C. this year, per a statistic provided by MPD.

Earlier this month, friends and family gathered to honor the life of Antione Manning, a 14-year-old boy who was shot and killed in Southeast on Halloween night. Manning had previously been shot on the same block. One week before his death, a 4-year-old boy was wounded when two men started shooting at each other in the Brightwood Park area of Northeast. Earlier in October, another teenage boy was fatally shot when three people opened fire in broad daylight near an elementary school in Northeast.

A recent report by WUSA9 found that at least 128 children have been the victims of gun violence in D.C. this year. Teenagers have taken the brunt of that violence, with more than 60 injured in 2022, according to the Gun Violence Archive Project, which keeps track of shootings across the country.
