Man Charged with Murder in Shooting Death of 16-Year-Old Girl

A man who police say fired into the housing complex courtyard, where a 16-year-old girl was shot and killed the day after Thanksgiving, has been charged with second-degree murder, police say.

Saeve Evans, 30, turned himself in to police last week after he was wanted in connection to the death of Breyona McMillian. McMillian was killed Friday, Nov. 25 after she was shot multiple times in the 1200 block of I Street SE, near her mother's home in the Potomac Gardens housing complex.

Evans was caught on surveillance video firing a gun multiple times near the time McMillian was shot, police said.

He has been in jail since Nov. 30 when he was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm in connection to the shooting.

McMillian grew up in D.C. and was home from out of town for Thanksgiving. She had been attending a boarding school in Iowa.
