In Alexandria, Virginia, three juveniles aged 16 to 17 have been arrested and charged with the murder of Kwakia Frazier, 25, following a gun-related incident on September 19, 2024. The charges include murder by mob, malicious wounding by mob, and firearm use during a felony. Meanwhile, in Easton, Massachusetts, Anthony Lopes, 18, has been charged with assault and battery by discharging a firearm, possession of a high-capacity firearm, and armed robbery, connected to the January 14 shooting of a 16-year-old girl at the Avalon Easton Apartments.
