**The Tragic Incident**
On March 1, 2020, on the 600 block of S Street, NW, a fatal shooting took place, resulting in the tragic death of 13-year-old Malachi Lukes.

The suspects were charged with multiple counts, including conspiracy, assault with the intent to kill while armed, first-degree murder while armed, carrying a pistol without a license, and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. The case also involves alleged co-conspirators Reginald Steele and Aaron Brown, adding layers of complexity to the legal proceedings.
**The Arrest**
During the court hearing, it was revealed that an individual, believed to be Freeman’s associate, was arrested in connection to the case. The prosecution stated that the arrested individual was found in possession of a gun that was linked to the one used in Lukes’ murder.
