Shrine for Sarah Beckstrom | 17th and I Streets NW DC

Sarah Beckstrom, 20, National Guard member, was shot and killed November 26, 2025 at the corner of 17th and I streets NW, Washington DC. 

From the Washington Post: “One of the two National Guard members shot Wednesday near the White House complex has died... The victim, Spec. Sarah Beckstrom, was a 20-year-old from West Virginia. The second critically wounded National Guard member, Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, is still fighting for his life..."

 Rahmanullah Lakanwal has been arrested and charged with murder.

This shrine outside the Metro stop where the shooting occurred was erected by the Hazara American community.

Peace, justice, and mercy. May Ms. Beckstrom rest in peace and her family be spared further grief.
