D.C. youth, 16, ordered confined until age 21 in killing of disc jockey
With tears streaming down their faces, nearly a dozen family members and friends of Bryan Smith stood before a D.C. Superior Court judge Monday and asked the same question: How could a teenager with multiple arrests for violent crimes, including assault and robbery, still be out on the streets. Prosecutors said the teen was only 15 when he and a 17-year-old companion, both from Northeast Washington, robbed and struck the 39-year-old Smith from behind so severely that he was left with severe brain damage and broken eye sockets. The attack occurred around 5 a.m. on Oct. 28 in the 500 block of T Street NW as Smith was returning home from a disc jockeying job. Smith lingered in a coma for two weeks before his mother removed him from life support in a Virginia hospital.
