Washington, D.C., police have arrested a suspect in connection to the Mother’s Day killing of 10-year-old Arianna Davis.
On Monday, D.C. police said they had arrested Karon Gregory, 19, and charged him with first-degree murder while armed.
Davis was shot in the upper body while driving home with her family following Mother's Day celebrations. D.C. Police said in May that Davis was "accidentally hit in a barrage of gunfire." She died in a local hospital days later.
