The Metropolitan Police Department is turning to the public for help in tracking down a suspect linked to a fatal shooting in Southeast D.C. in early May. According to a press release, officers were dispatched to the 1300 block of Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast on the first of May, after receiving reports of gunfire at around 12:23 p.m. Upon arrival, law enforcement discovered 32-year-old Thomas Carlos Felder, who tragically succumbed to gunshot injuries at the site of the incident and was pronounced dead at the scene, Felder was identified as a man of no fixed address, which adds a layer of complexity to the investigation.

The MPD has not released any suspect description nor the possible motive behind the shooting as the detectives continue piecing together the events that unfolded leading to Felder's death, yet the lack of immediate leads has prompted authorities to enlist communal assistance. While details are sparse, the department urges anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing that every piece of knowledge, no matter how small, could prove essential in solving this case and bringing closure to those affected by the sudden violent act.

Those with information regarding this case are encouraged to contact the MPD at (202) 727-9099 or submit an anonymous tip via text message to the department's tip line at 50411. The Metropolitan Police Department maintains its commitment to maintaining the safety and security of the District's residents, yet it is often the cooperation with community members that truly enables progress in the ceaseless battle against the tides of crime.
