The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is asking for the public’s help locating a suspect of a Jan. 26 homicide.
At around 2:51 p.m. that day, officers responded to the 1200 block of Saratoga Avenue, NE, where they found 22 year-old Maryland resident Dewayne Shorter, III suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
“Further investigation revealed that the offense took place in the 1300 block of Brentwood Road, NE,” the press release states.
However, the location is contested by the victim’s family member.
The suspect in this case has been identified as 36 year-old Jonathan Young, of Southeast, DC. He is wanted for first-degree murder while armed.
