The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has announced the arrests of two individuals in connection with a double homicide that occurred last April in Northeast Washington, D.C. The incident involved the fatal shooting of two juvenile males, identified as 14-year-old Tyale Coates and 12-year-old Mhilo Young.
On April 14, 2026, at approximately 3:27 p.m., officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 700 block of Kenilworth Avenue, Northeast. Upon arrival, they discovered the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite the efforts of D.C. Fire and EMS, one victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the second was transported to a local hospital, where they later succumbed to their injuries.
Following an investigation, MPD located and arrested 18-year-old Antonio Terry and 20-year-old Markell Woodings, both from Southeast D.C., under D.C. Superior Court arrest warrants. They have been charged with two counts of First-Degree Murder while Armed (Premeditated).
The case remains under investigation, and the MPD is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for the crime.
