Authorities are seeking information in the wake of a homicide that took place early this week in Northeast Washington. According to a statement from the Metropolitan Police Department, officers were called to the 1600 block of Benning Road NE around 12:02 a.m. on Monday after reports of gunfire were received.
Upon arrival, law enforcement found Larry Evans, a 48-year-old man from Northwest, DC, with a gunshot wound. He was unconscious and not breathing at the time. Efforts to save him proved futile, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Surveillance footage has revealed a suspect escaping in a light-colored sedan, and this video has been made available to the public in the hopes of gathering leads.
The investigation is ongoing, and the MPD has issued an appeal for anyone with knowledge of the incident, pointing out a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. They encourage anyone with information to call the police at (202) 727-9099 or to send a tip via text to the department's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411, with the case number CCN: 25026753 associated with the homicide.
