The Metropolitan Police Department’s (MPD) Internal Affairs Bureau is investigating an officer-involved shooting that happened in a Southwest, DC home on April 30.
According to a press release, at around 8:56 p.m., police were dispatched to a home on the 1100 block of 4th Street, SW, for a domestic dispute.
“Officers arrived on the scene and were beginning to interview an adult male and an adult female inside of the residence,” the press release states. “The adult male suddenly brandished a firearm and pointed it at the female and one of the officers. In response, one of the officers discharged their firearm, striking the male suspect.”
The man, 36 year-old Terrance Maurice Parker, was pronounced dead at an area hospital.
