Young journalist Charnice Milton died after she was caught in crossfire in on Good Hope Road SE in 2015. The killing remains unsolved. Kymone Freeman of WeAct Radio in downtown Anacostia, and others, have been collecting books since February, and now with nearly 300 of them in the studio’s basement they hope to raise enough money to renovate the space and name it “The Charnice Milton Book Store.”
