Police: Man charged in fatal shooting of 16-year-old girl

WASHINGTON — A man has been charged in the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Breyona McMillian at a housing complex near Capitol Hill the morning after Thanksgiving.

Saeve Evans, 30,  was charged with second-degree felony murder, police said Saturday.

Evans is the same man who had been identified as a person of interest in McMillian’s killing back in November.

The shooting happened at around 11:45 a.m. Nov. 25.

McMillian, who was known to friends and family as “Bree,”  was found shot multiple times at the Potomac Gardens apartments in the 1200 block of I Street in Southeast.

Police said surveillance footage showed Evans firing a weapon in the area where she was shot. He turned himself in on a weapons charge tied to the incident and has been in jail since Nov. 30.

Evans is scheduled to appear in court on Monday, D.C. court records show.
