During a news conference held on Sunday morning, Executive Assistant Chief Jeffrey Carrol urged anyone with information regarding the incident or who may have witnessed it to contact the Metropolitan Police Department.
Law enforcement officials described the suspect as a black man with an average build, wearing light pants and a blue shirt. The suspect was reportedly last seen heading southbound on 7th Street NW. Authorities advised the public not to take any action but instead to immediately call 911 if they have any information.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered six adults who had all sustained gunshot wounds. Tragically, two of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene, while a seventh victim had the resilience to get to a hospital on his own, according to the police.

The deceased victims have since been identified as 32-year-old Anthony Brown from Southeast, D.C., and 32-year-old Jay Lucks from Baltimore, Maryland.
While the motive behind the shooting remains under investigation, the Metropolitan Police Department stated in a press release that initial findings suggest “that one or more suspects intentionally discharged a firearm at the victims.”
In an effort to bring the perpetrators to justice, the police department is offering a reward of up to $25,000 per victim, totaling $50,000, for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

This incident occurred against the backdrop of a concerning rise in homicides in Washington, DC.

What kind of world are we living in when 32 murders is seen as okay? The disproportionate amount of murders and violent crime by the 13% need to be stopped.
Perhaps Joe Biden is quietly working on the principle that the more immigrants crossing the borders who remain undocumented the less documented victims will show up in the “Statistics” – plausible to the Demonrat mindset ? – Probably !
