A daylight shooting in Southeast Washington has claimed the life of a 32-year-old man, according to Metropolitan Police. The victim, identified as Thomas Carlos Felder with no known address, was gunned down last Wednesday on a bustling street just after lunch hour.

Authorities were called quickly to the 1300 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, Southeast, following the shooting, with officers arriving around 12:23 P.M. Despite their rapid response, Felder was pronounced dead at the scene, succumbing to injuries from the gunshot wounds. The incident is currently under investigation by the MPD's Homicide Branch, as stated in a press release from the Metropolitan Police Department.

The area, known to be frequented by locals and commuters alike, turned into a crime scene with police cordoning off the area to investigate.
