On July 10, officers from the Metropolitan Police Department arrested Delonta
Daniel as a suspect in a homicide in Northeast, DC.
According to a press release, Daniel, 32, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 25 year-old Bernard Jarvis on the 2400 block of 14th Street, NE on June 28. Jarvis, who was a resident of Hyattsville, Md., died on the scene.
An autopsy report from the District of Columbia Chief Medical Examiner’s office revealed that a bullet went through the victim’s shoulder blade and exited from his mouth. There were 16 homicides in June, according to D.C. Witness data. All of the homicides resulted from gun-related injuries.
According to court documents, Jarvis was holding a folding knife in his right hand. Officers located 24 shell casings on the scene. Surveillance footage captures Daniel shooting in the direction of the victim and another individual who was not harmed.
Daniel is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on July 26.
