Thirty minutes later, police responded to the 1900 block of 9th Street, NW on reports of gunfire. After arriving on the scene, police found 22-year-old Phillip Dumbuya and an unidentified male suffering from gunshot wounds. Dumbuya succumbed to his injuries at an area hospital. The unidentified male sustained non-life threatening injuries.
Police are offering up to $25,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in these homicides or any other homicide in DC.
