The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) arrested a Virginia resident for first-degree murder while armed in connection with a homicide that happened on Jan. 25, according to a press release.

At around 8:54 a.m. that day, officers responded to the 1400 block of Good Hope Road, SE for the report of a shooting.

There, they found three men suffering from gunshot wounds.

Two were taken to the hospital: one with non life-threatening injuries and the other with life-threatening injuries.

A third victim, 22 year-old Edward Wade, was pronounced dead on scene.

Two other men also sought treatment at local hospitals for non-life threatening injuries.

“Through the detectives’ investigation, it was determined that one of the victims that sought treatment at a local hospital was a suspect in this case,” the press release states.

Terrance Oxner, 21, was arrested on Jan. 25.
