Two suspects have been identified for the murder of 16-year-old Yoselis Regino Barrios that took place Nov. 7.

Yoselis Regino Barrios along with another adult male were found with gunshot wounds in an alley in the 1300 block of Rittenhouse Street, NW. The adult male was treated for non-life threatening injuries. Barrios, 16, was pronounced dead after all life-saving efforts failed.
