Jefferson, of Fort Washington, Maryland, was arrested the next day by members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force. He’s charged with second-degree murder while armed.
Kendall Brown was involved in argument over missing clothes, her mother said. Jefferson allegedly got involved.
“It’s senseless. It does not make sense to me,” the victim’s mother said.
Jefferson used a ghost gun in the killing, prosecutors say.
Kendall Brown was one of three people killed in separate shootings this past weekend in D.C.
The gun violence must stop, Kendall Brown’s grandmother said.
“We want the illegal firearms off the street, but the police need help in doing so,” she said.
