The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in Washington, D.C., is calling for community assistance in identifying a person of interest linked to a recent homicide that took place on the 1200 block of Bladensburg Road, Northeast. The event, a shooting that led to a young man's death, occurred on Tuesday.

According to the Metropolitan Police Department, Fifth District officers were summoned to the scene at approximately 10:49 a.m. following reports of the incident. They found an adult male, identified as 18-year-old Jeremiah Law of Fort Washington, MD, with gunshot wounds. The victim found unconscious and not breathing outside of an establishment, was immediately attended to by the DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services and transported to a local hospital. Despite exhaustive lifesaving efforts, Law was pronounced dead.

The detectives' ongoing investigation indicates that the shots were fired inside a local establishment, leading to Law's subsequent death outdoors. This revelation adds a layer of complexity to the case as police work to piece together the events that unfolded within the premises.

The police department has not only solicited help from the public but also announced a reward of up to $25,000 for information that could lead to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator(s). "Anyone who has knowledge of this incident should take no action but call police at (202) 727-9099 or text your tip to the Department's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411," the Metropolitan Police Department urges, reflecting the gravity with which they are pursuing leads in this case.
