Man dead in Southeast DC shooting

WASHINGTON — A man is dead in an early morning shooting Thursday in Southeast D.C. Police say it happened around 1:45 a.m. in the area of First and Atlantic Streets, but offered very few details beyond that. 

Officers were called to the area for a shooting and found a man unresponsive. He was later pronounced dead on the scene and homicide detectives were called in to investigate. So far, no arrests have been made, and police have not provided a description of the person or people responsible. The circumstances surrounding the deadly shooting are not known. 

About 15 minutes after this shooting, DC Police officers in Northwest D.C. were called to the 1400 block of Park Road Northwest for another shooting report. A woman was found shot, but police say she was conscious and breathing when she was taken to the hospital for treatment. She is expected to be OK, and police described her injuries as not life-threatening. 

These two shootings add to an overall violent night in the District. DC Police investigators also responded to a pair of shootings Tuesday that left a total of six people shot and one dead. In both of those cases, detectives are searching for a silver Jeep Cherokee.

Anyone who may have information to help detectives in any of these cases is asked to contact police at 202-727-9099 or text the department's tip line at 50411.
