Authorities are rallying the community for help following a shooting in D.C.'s Chinatown neighborhood, hoping the public can aid in identifying two suspects linked to the incident. The Metropolitan Police Department released information regarding the confrontation that took place on a recent Wednesday night.
The event unfolded on July 17, around 8:37 p.m., when police were called to an alley near the location of 600 block of H Street, Northwest. There, officers found an adult male with a gunshot wound. According to a statement by the MPD, the injured man was promptly taken to the hospital with injuries declared non-life-threatening. A dispute that erupted just before the gunfire is said to have precipitated the shooting itself.
In a bid to apprehend the individuals responsible, the MPD has requested that anyone with information about the suspects come forward. Details about the nature of the conflict or the parties involved beyond the altercation remain vague as detectives continue to piece together the events leading up to the shooting.
