Police say a 32-year-old man, Algernon Harvey Jones, was fatally shot early Saturday morning, along with 7 other people who sustained non-life threatening gunshot wounds.

Jones was found in the 100 block of Q St. around 1:00 a.m.

When emergency workers arrived they determined Jones had already died from his injuries, and he was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

The remaining 7 victims were treated at area hospitals.

Two suspects are being sought by the police, both of which were described as black males wearing dark clothing.

They were last seen fleeing the scene in a black vehicle with tinted windows, heading eastbound on Q Street, NW.
