Over a year following a tragic shooting on Savannah Street in Southeast, DC, the Metropolitan Police Department has reported an arrest. On the afternoon of February 25, 2023, a shootout left three adults injured. They were promptly taken to a hospital, but the violence claimed a life. Brice Djembissi, 37, of Hyattsville, MD, ultimately succumbed to his wounds and passed away on March 3, 2023, as per MPD's official statement.
The case seemed stagnant until a recent break led Metropolitan police to 21-year-old Dionzai Parker of Southeast, DC. Parker was arrested yesterday and he faces charges of First Degree Murder while Armed, directly connected to the February incident. Details on what led to the breakthrough were not immediately released, but an indictment from the DC Superior Court spurred the recent arrest.
Further information about Parker's arrest is available through a Metropolitan Police Department press release, which was published shortly after his detention.
