Man gunned down in Southeast DC as police hunt two caught on camera
WASHINGTON, DC – A man was shot and killed just after midnight on a Southeast street, and now police are on the hunt for two suspects seen in chilling surveillance footage fleeing the scene.
It happened Tuesday, August 26 around 12:25 a.m., when officers from the Sixth District rushed to the 300 block of Anacostia Road SE after a shooting was reported inside a residence. They found 31-year-old Franck Foute Mohdjiom suffering from a gunshot wound and still breathing, but unresponsive.
Emergency crews transported Mohdjiom to an area hospital, but he died shortly after arrival when life-saving efforts failed. The victim was a resident of Southeast DC.
Surveillance cameras in the area captured images of two individuals believed to be connected to the deadly shooting. Those photos — along with video footage — have since been released as detectives push for public assistance in tracking them down.
The motive for the killing has not been made public, and officials have not confirmed whether the victim knew the suspects.
The Metropolitan Police Department is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to arrests and convictions in the case. Tipsters can remain anonymous and are urged to call (202) 727-9099 or text 50411 with any information.
