WASHINGTON, DC – A man has been arrested in connection to a deadly shooting that occurred last month in Northwest D.C., according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Officers responded to the Unit block of Ridge Square around 2:30 a.m. on January 16 after receiving a report of gunfire.
Inside an apartment, police found 32-year-old Terell Cortez West of Northeast D.C., suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A woman at the location was also assaulted with a weapon but sustained minor injuries and was treated on-site.
Authorities said the shooting stemmed from a domestic dispute.
On February 21, police arrested 34-year-old Maurice Ford of Northwest D.C. and charged him with second-degree murder while armed.
