The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), according to D.C. Witness data, arrested six suspects allegedly involved in six of these homicides and 11 of the non-fatal shootings.
In one case, a 14-year-old has been charged with felony murder while armed of a construction worker, 34-year-old Rafael Adolfo Gomez, on the 2200 block of 6th Street, NW, near Howard University on July 13.
There was a mass shooting on July 5 in which nine people including two juveniles were injured. While no one died in the attack, the victims were sent to area hospitals where they were treated and released.
