The Metropolitan Police Department arrested a suspect on April 14 who they believe is connected to an assault on the 5200 block of Astor Place, SE.
The suspect was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon (gun).
According to a press release, earlier that day the suspect pulled out a gun and started firing shots at a victim. The victim sustained non-life threatening injuries and was transported to an area hospital for medical treatment.
The case is still open.
Anyone who has knowledge of the incident should take no action but call police at (202) 727-9099 or text the Department’s TEXT TIP LINE at 50411. The Metropolitan Police Department currently offers a reward of up to $10,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for a violent crime committed in the District of Columbia.
