The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying and locating a person of interest in a shooting that killed a man and a woman on Dec. 21, 2023, on the 1300 block of Half Street, SW.

According to MPD documents, officers responded to the location for the report of a shooting, where they located three men and a woman with gunshot wounds. The woman died at the scene and, after all life-serving efforts failed, one man died at the hospital. The other victims were treated at local hospitals.

The victims were identified as 35-year-old Patricia Harris and 24-year-old Tyrone Jacobs.

A person of interest was captured by nearby surveillance cameras.

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.
