Three young girls, ages 12 and 13, were arrested in Washington DC for the brutal 2023 murder of a disabled man named Reggie Brown. The girls were caught on camera chasing Brown through an alley and stomping on him until he died. They were seen laughing as they beat him, with one of the girls even commenting on his injuries. Brown, who was disabled and had mental health issues, was found dead on the street with injuries consistent with blunt force trauma. The girls did not know Brown prior to the attack, and police are still investigating the involvement of a man in his early 20s who allegedly initiated the attack.
During the attack, one of the girls filmed the beating on her cellphone while another used Brown’s belt against him. The girls claimed they were forced to participate by the man who originally confronted Brown. Two of the girls allegedly did not want to beat Brown but felt threatened by the man, who reportedly had a gun in his waistband. The girls were on the run until one of them was taken into custody on Thursday. That same night, the 12-year-old girl was shot in her apartment, suffering a non-life-threatening injury. Police have not disclosed the circumstances of the shooting, but neighbors reported seeing two young people escape through a broken window.
The niece of the victim spoke out, stating that her uncle did not deserve to be attacked in such a brutal manner. Brown was a known figure in the community, having lived in the area for 64 years. She emphasized the need for accountability for the girls responsible for his death. The three girls, who have not had prior arrests but have struggled with truancy, are facing second-degree murder charges and are being tried as juveniles. Despite their ages, their actions during the attack were described as horrific and deranged by investigators.
