The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) announced the arrest of an individual in connection to a shooting that occurred on March 22 on the 2400 block of Minnesota Avenue, SE.

According to MPD documents, the victim was inside a business at the location when the suspect confronted them and a physical altercation ensued. The altercation continued outside of the establishment, where the suspect brandished a gun and shot the victim. They both fled the scene, and the victim sought medical attention at a police substation.
