There is a reward but no arrests.

[b]An 18 year old cannot rent a hotel room,[/b] who was the party host? Surprised that a nice DC hotel would still be allowing these large parties in single rooms after the Days Inn shooting. Need better control by front desk, and aren't fobs required for elevators in most hotels?

Actually they can, because the DC Human Rights laws prohibit age discrimination. (And I know this because when DC hotels tried to require a 21+ age restriction, they were threatened with a lawsuit.)

It's tragic how many DC laws to uphold the rights of young people result in their premature passing.  You could say the same of all the restorative leniency measures that result in unreformed youth back out repeatedly until their crimes escalate to murder of each other (and everyone else)[/quote]

I imagine the killer has a sealed juvenile record, not sure how long he has been 18. No adult record in DC. He was reported missing as a youth by MPD. You would think kids in that situation and families would get interventions and services, but often the kids seem to die prematurely or go on to serious crimes, as he did at 18. Randomly shooting into a party he was asked to leave and killing that young lady home from college. She was doing something with her life now, senselessly, it is over. He wasn't even targeting her, just pointless.

The kid shot in Brookland breaking into a car had repeatedly been reported missing. Same names over and over in MPD texts and tweets. A 14 yr old girl named So'Fine in a FH building has been reported repeatedly, search her name on the MPD twitter. No interventions there, guess the voucher program did not magically transform her life or provide effective services. Hope her life does not end in tragedy or incarceration.

This city spends a fortune while failing its children. That they give the locked up kids at DCYRS Call of Duty and GTA to play, and little education, is a travesty. It's like they groom them into criminality w/no consequences and rampant truancy and if there is any consequence, it's a chance to practice to "level up." [/quote]

This is exactly it. I have asked different representatives of agencies repeatedly to detail the education and life skills children in custody receive as part of 'youth reform', so that they and the community are safer when they are released. Crickets. Allen, especially, should speak to this as he has led the youth leniency charge in our city with his reformation act. Why can't he supply details specifically on this? Oh wait, I'm sure he would just finger point and make excuses.[/quote]
