The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is looking for the perpetrator of a July 19 homicide.
At around 4:53 p.m., MPD officers responded to a reported shooting on the 3600 block of 14th Street, NW, which is located in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of DC. Upon arrival, officers discovered eight adult males and one female suffering from gunshot wounds.
Emergency personnel transported all of the victims to a local hospital for treatment. After all life-saving efforts failed, Devin Peterson, a 28-year-old resident of Northeast DC, was pronounced dead.
