Barnett was taken to Washington Hospital, where she later died. Another woman suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.

Police said Barnett and the other woman were not the intended targets of the shooting. Investigators believe the shooter was targeting a man who was walking with the group.

Details of the case are unclear, as the judge has sealed all documents.

Larry Thompson, Barnett’s father, took to social media after his daughter’s death, vowing to post a photo every day of Tavian Hooper, who was wanted in connection with the murder. %

Hooper and a man named Jamaal Greene were identified as the two people arrested.

Greene had been arrested the day after the shooting that killed Barnett on unrelated charges. Hooper was later arrested on drug charges.

Both men are now charged with homicide in Barnett’s death.
