       Iesha Marks, 29, who has been charged with first-degree murder while armed, told police officers that she was driven to the location of the shooting on July 30 to “fight a female who had disrespected her on a social media platform,” according to the charging documents. But she told detectives she did not fire the shots that killed Donald Childs, 46, of Northwest Washington.

       The killing occurred about 2:43 p.m. in the 100 block of Farragut Street NW. A lawyer for Marks did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday. Marks, of Bowie, Md., pleaded guilty in December 2021 to assault with a deadly weapon after police said she fired a pistol during a verbal altercation, court records show. She was sentenced to a year of probation and ordered to register as a gun offender.
