Document: Arrests Made in Shooting that Left 1 Dead, 5 Injured

The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) arrested three men in connection to a Sept. 5 shooting that left one dead and five injured on the 200 block of M Street, SW.

According to MPD documents, officers responded to the listed location for the report of a shooting inside of an apartment, where they located two men who had been shot and one man who had suffered injuries from falling from the building.

One of the shooting victims, 32-year-old Matthew Miller, died at the scene. The other two were transported to local hospitals for the treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

A while later, three men walked into a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries sustained from gunshots. A MPD investigation determined that they were the suspects, but were also shot during the incident.

All three, 22-year-old Keshawn Lavender, 27-year-old Deandre Sams, and 36-year-old Raymond Mathis were arrested and charged with first-degree murder (felony murder).
