Document: MPD Investigating Fatal Shooting in Southeast

The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) announced their ongoing investigation into a fatal shooting incident that took place in Southeast.

On the evening of Sept. 10, 2024, at precisely 7:03 pm, officers from the Sixth District responded to a reported shooting at the 4500 block of Benning Road, Southeast. Upon arrival, the officers discovered an adult male victim of the shooting.

Despite the immediate transportation of the victim to a local hospital by DC Fire and EMS personnel, and all the lifesaving measures taken, the victim unfortunately succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
