Two Teens Arrested in Connection with Death of DC DJ Bryan Smith

The suspects, aged 14 and 16, face multiple robbery charges following a violent attack on the beloved DJ.

The attack occurred on October 27, when Bryan Smith was robbed and severely beaten near a gay bar in Washington, D.C.
Smith, known as 'The Barber Streisand,' was a prominent figure in the local LGBTQ+ community and died after being in a coma for over a week.
Police arrested the teenagers after extensive investigations, using surveillance footage and tracking stolen items to identify the suspects.
Both teens are charged with multiple counts of robbery and assault with intent to commit robbery, but not yet with murder.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about youth-involved violence in the city, though Smith's death is not being treated as a hate crime.
