Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) detectives are investigating a homicide that took place just under two weeks ago.

At about 2:49 p.m. on July 16, MPD officers responded to a report of a shooting on the 5400 block of Bass Place, SE, which is located in the Marshall Heights neighborhood of DC.

There, officers found Marc Mayo, a 49-year-old resident of District Heights, Md., suffering from gunshot wounds. He was transported to the hospital.

An adult male resident of Southeast, DC was subsequently arrested for assault with a dangerous weapon that same day.

Mayo died on July 27. A medical examiner determined that he died from complications of a gunshot wound, and his death was ruled a homicide.

Detectives are working with U.S. Attorney’s Office to bring additional charges against the defendant.
