Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) detectives are investigating the fatal shooting of one-year-old Carmelo Duncan on Dec. 2.
At around 9:35 p.m., officers responded to the 5700 block of Southern Avenue, SE for the report of a shooting.
When they got there, DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services told them that they had taken the victim, unconscious and unresponsive, to an area hospital. He was ultimately pronounced dead after all life-saving efforts failed.
Detectives’ investigation revealed that the Duncan sustained multiple gunshot wounds while inside a vehicle.
The MPD offers up to $25,000 to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for any homicide that happens in DC. The ATF and the Washington Field Division has offered an additional $25,000 and the FBI Washington Field Office has offered an additional $10,000 in this case.
