The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) announced their ongoing investigation into a fatal shooting incident that took place in Southeast.
On the evening of Sept. 10, 2024, at precisely 7:03 pm, officers from the Sixth District responded to a reported shooting at the 4500 block of Benning Road, Southeast. Upon arrival, the officers discovered an adult male victim of the shooting.
Despite the immediate transportation of the victim to a local hospital by DC Fire and EMS personnel, and all the lifesaving measures taken, the victim unfortunately succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
The victim has been recognized as 33-year-old Jonathan Jackson, a Southeast resident.
The MPD encourages anyone with information relevant to the incident to refrain from action but to contact the police by calling (202) 727-9099 or by texting information to the Department’s Text Tip Line at 50411. The MPD offers a reward up to $25,000 for any information that facilitates the arrest and indictment of any individual or group responsible for a violent crime committed in the District of Columbia.
