After searching for suspects in a shooting of a 5-year-old boy, officers with the Metropolitan Police Department were able to apprehend one of the suspects on Sept. 10.
The 17-year-old that was arrested was a 17-year-old juvenile. According to news reports, the victim sustained a gunshot wound to his abdomen. The boy was treated at a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
Police sent out a notice on Aug. 22, requesting assistance in identifying to individuals who were allegedly involved in the shooting that took place on the 1300 block of Congress Street, SE on Aug. 21.
