Barnard said the judge identified the girl killed as Youngblood's daughter, Brooklynn. The Medical Examiner said Brooklynn died from a gunshot to the head. Barnard said that Youngblood spoke in a quiet voice and said that she did not want a lawyer. He said the judge appointed the Public Defender's office to represent her.
The shooting happened around 10:15 p.m. Sunday in the 1500 block of Lincoln Circle in Fairfax County.
Youngblood was arrested about an hour later in Loudoun County after an acquaintance called police when she knocked on their front door. Police say a firearm was recovered when she was arrested.
Youngblood has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the shooting. She is being held without bond.
FOX 5 has learned that a protective order by her ex-husband was issued in 2016 regarding their daughter.
