The girl has been identified as Makiyah Wilson, of Northeast D.C.
When a black Infiniti SUV with paper tags missing the rear bumper pulled into the 300 block of 53rd Street Northeast around 8 p.m., four masked people got out and opened fire, Assistant D.C. Police Chief Chanel Dickerson said.
The shooters got back into the vehicle and took off, Dickerson said.
