Three girls ages 12 to 13 have been arrested and charged in the beating of a 64-year-old D.C. man that led to his death last October, police said.

Police said Reggie Brown, of Northwest, was found unresponsive with blunt force trauma to the head in the 6200 block of Georgia Avenue Northwest, at around 1 a.m. on Oct. 17. He was pronounced dead minutes after he was found.

Two 13-year-old girls and a 12-year-old girl, all of Northwest, have been charged with second-degree murder, D.C. police said in a news release Friday.

The 12-year-old was shot and wounded inside her home in Northwest D.C. earlier Friday, NBC Washington reported. D.C. police said they cannot confirm whether the girl who was shot was the person charged in Brown’s death.
