Two Early Morning Shootings in DC Tied to One Vehicle

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Police in D.C. are calling on the public to assist in identifying a gray four-door sedan believed to be involved in two separate shooting incidents in the District’s Southwest and Southeast areas early Sunday morning.

The first incident occurred at around 2:26 a.m. in the 1200 block of Howison Place in Southwest D.C., where officers, responding to reports of gunfire, found a man suffering from gunshot wounds. He was promptly taken to a local hospital for medical attention.

A mere 13 minutes later, at approximately 2:39 a.m., a similar distress call led officers to the 700 block of 12th Street in Southeast D.C. At this location, another man with gunshot injuries was discovered and subsequently transported to a hospital for treatment.

Investigators, piecing together evidence from the two crime scenes, identified a gray sedan with tinted windows, captured on surveillance footage, as being implicated in both shootings.
