The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) announced a suspect has been charged with Assault with a Dangerous Weapon for a shooting incident that occurred in Chinatown. OnJuly 17, in an alley near the 600 block of H Street, NW, First District officers responded to a call for a shooting. An adult male victim suffering from a gunshot wound was located and transferred to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The MPD revealed, from their detectives’ investigation, that the shooting was preceded by a dispute between the suspects and the victim in the alley.
On Sept. 14, 2024, 30-year-old Tyrice Sutton, of Northwest, DC, was apprehended by the Metro Transit Police Department. He was initially charged with Fugitive from Justice and a Parole Violation Warrant, but subsequent to MPD’s investigation, an additional charge of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon was levied in relation to the July 17, 2024 shooting.
MPD disclosed that a second suspect was caught on a surveillance camera, with a photo included below in the release. The MPD expressed gratitude to the Metro Transit Police Department for their aid in this case and ongoing partnership.
The case remains under investigation, and the public is urged to help identify the remaining suspect or provide any additional knowledge of the incident.
