Washington, DC – A 31-year-old man was shot and killed just after midnight Tuesday inside a Southeast DC home, marking yet another fatal shooting under investigation in the city’s Anacostia corridor.
Just after 12:25 a.m., officers from the Sixth District were called to the 300 block of Anacostia Road SE following a report of gunfire. When they arrived, they found Franck Foute Mohdjiom inside the residence, unconscious but still breathing, with at least one gunshot wound.
