Last night's gunfire on North Capitol Street claimed a young life. Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Branch is now piecing together the details surrounding a fatal shooting that left a teenager dead, according to a statement by MPD.

Responding to a 9:07 p.m. call on Tuesday, officers arrived to find 19-year-old Daquan Garner lying wounded on the sidewalk. Despite efforts to quickly save him, Garner was pronounced dead at the scene. An investigation is underway, but details about the shooter or the motive behind this violent act have yet to emerge.

Garner, a Northwest resident, became the latest statistic in a city grappling with gun violence. MPD detectives are pursuing leads and ask anyone with information to step forward. This incident adds to the rising concerns over safety in Northeast D.C. neighborhoods.

As detectives continue to examine the circumstances of Garner's death thoroughly, the community is left seeking answers. Residents are urged to actively contribute any information that may prove critical in bringing the perpetrator to justice and prevent future tragedies.
