A 6-year-old girl was killed and five adults were wounded in a late-night shooting on Friday, horrifying residents of the neighborhood and frustrating investigators who pleaded with the public to help them catch those responsible.

At a news conference on Saturday evening, city leaders mourned the loss of a young life, identifying the girl who was killed as Nyiah Courtney, who would have started first grade in the fall.

She had been riding her scooter on the sidewalk when she was shot.

“I am heartbroken,” said Robert J. Contee, the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department. He said those responsible were “cowards who came into the community without any regard for human life,” adding, “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.”

Police said shots had been fired from a gray sedan that quickly fled the scene.

Nyiah was pronounced dead upon arrival at a hospital. The five adults who were wounded did not have life-threatening injuries, the police said.
