On January 4, 2023, three-year-old Journee Javiah Carroll-Ward was killed in a shooting inside a Dumfries, Virginia, residence that also left four teenagers, all related to the child, with life-threatening injuries. The family was still coping with the death of Journee’s mother the year before when this attack occurred.

Neighbors reported hearing a hail of gunfire and saw a 17-year-old girl running from the house, screaming. Neighbors aided her and later officers found four additional victims in the home’s basement. Emergency responders gave first aid and transported the wounded teens to area hospitals; Journee was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators recovered two firearms where the shooting occurred.

Authorities identified 20-year-old Kenyatta Lee Oglesby as a person of interest, located him nearby and arrested him without incident. He was charged with murder, four counts of aggravated malicious wounding, and related firearm offenses; he was held without bond. Does anyone have information about the family or the events that night that could help investigators?
