The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) announced the arrest of a shooting suspect, who was quickly apprehended after an incident on April 26 on the 1200 block of Connecticut Avenue, NW.
According to MPD documents, officers responded to the location for the sounds of gunshots, where they located six adult victims with gunshot wounds. Three men and two women were transported to hospitals for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. A fourth man was treated on the scene for a graze wound and refused to go to the hospital.
Witnesses were able to direct officers to the suspect, 29-year-old Rennwel Mantock, who was quickly detained. A firearm was recovered on the scene.
The detectives’ investigation determined Mantock opened fire after employees removed him from a nightclub following a dispute.
Mantock was arrested and charged with assault with intent to kill, possession of unregistered ammunition, and possession of an unregistered firearm.
