Police identified the suspect as 20-year-old Tyron Jackasal, who was already in jail on a robbery charge. He now faces charges of second-degree murder.
Investigators said 21-year-old K Mia Simmons and her two children were riding in a car with K’Mia’s boyfriend and the father of her children, Parise Lovett, Jr. when a gunman in another car ambushed them in the 1800 block of 22nd Street South.
Simmons was holding her 1-year-old baby in her arms when she was shot. Her 2-year-old child was in the backseat, where a second bullet barely missed the toddler, Chief Anthony Holloway said.
