Five injured in Northeast DC club shooting as 19-year-old arrested in Maryland raid
Washington, DC – A 19-year-old man is now in custody in connection with a nightclub shooting last month that left five people injured outside a Northeast DC venue in the early morning hours of Sunday, November 2.
Langston Wedge of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, was arrested last Tuesday during a search warrant execution on unrelated charges. Following his arrest, a warrant was obtained linking him to the Bladensburg Road shooting, and he was extradited back to the District on Tuesday where he now faces multiple felony charges.
The shooting erupted around 1:49 a.m. in the 2300 block of Bladensburg Road NE, where police found three women and two men suffering from gunshot wounds. All five victims were transported to local hospitals and treated for injuries that were not life-threatening.
Wedge has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault while armed and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. Investigators have not released details on a possible motive or whether the shooting was targeted.
The Prince George’s County Police Department assisted with locating and apprehending Wedge during the Maryland operation.
Court proceedings are expected to begin this week in D.C. Superior Court.
