Man arrested in early morning 14th Street shooting
WASHINGTON, DC — A dispute on a Northwest block before dawn ended in gunfire, and nearly three months later a suspect is now in custody on a weapons charge, according to court records and police.
The shooting happened around 5:45 a.m. on Sunday, December 7, in the 2000 block of 14th Street Northwest. Investigators say the suspect approached the victim, displayed a handgun and fired before leaving the scene.
The victim was taken to a local hospital and treated for injuries that were not considered life threatening. Detectives later determined the two individuals had been involved in a physical altercation before the shooting.
On Tuesday, acting on a DC Superior Court arrest warrant, officers arrested 27-year-old Anfernee Brown of Southeast Washington. He has been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon gun.
Brown is expected to face proceedings in Superior Court as the case moves forward.
A confrontation that began with a fight on 14th Street now heads to court following an arrest tied to the early morning gunfire.
