Authorities are calling on the public to help track down a vehicle connected to a recent shooting in Northeast Washington. The incident, which unfolded in the early hours of Saturday, June 15, has prompted an investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department. According to their report, several suspects confronted the victims as they were getting into their car on the 1200 block of H Street, Northwest. One of the assailants, armed with a firearm, shot one of the victims while attempting to rob them. The victim, who had tried to escape, sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was later taken to a local hospital.

The suspects fled the scene without managing to successfully steal any items from the victims. MPD, now in urgent need of witnesses or information, has issued a plea for assistance to locate the suspects' vehicle associated with this attack. Details of the vehicle have not been made public, but individuals with knowledge of the incident or the suspects are encouraged to come forward. In their statement, police described the crime as a violent encounter that fortunately did not claim any lives but could have swiftly taken a darker turn.

This shooting adds to the list of violent acts in the District, raising concerns among residents about safety and the prevalence of gun violence.
