WASHINGTON — Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department are asking for the public’s help in locating a suspect wanted in connection with a fatal shooting that took place in Northwest Washington earlier this year.

The incident occurred on Monday, February 12, 2024, at approximately 2:41 a.m. Officers responded to the 900 block of Shepherd Street, Northwest, after reports of gunfire.
