The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is investigating a fatal shooting that occurred on Jan. 22 on the 4600 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE.
According to MPD documents, officers responded to the location to assist Metro Transit Police (MTP) officers with a reported shooting. Upon arrival, officers located a juvenile male with gunshot wound injuries. A short time later, officers located an adult male suffering from gunshot wound injuries inside a vehicle nearby. The adult male died at the scene, and the juvenile male was transported to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries.
The preliminary investigation revealed that the two victims were in a stolen Kia sedan, traveling northbound on Minnesota Avenue. The suspect vehicle pulled up next to the Kia and opened fire. The suspect vehicle was later recovered unoccupied on Jan. 23.
The adult victim’s identity is being withheld pending identification and next of kin notifications.
MPD offers a reward to anyone that provides information which leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for each homicide in the District.
