Following a shooting incident during an armed robbery in Chinatown last month, the Metropolitan Police Department has announced an arrest. The crime took place at around 4:14 p.m. on May 24, near the intersection of 7th and H Street, Northwest. When officers arrived, they discovered evidence of a shooting, but no victim was present at the scene. The victim, however, was later found and taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
According to a release from the Metropolitan Police Department, on June 29, a 25-year-old man named Kemoni Ware was arrested in connection with the incident. As a result of the investigation conducted by detectives, Ware has been charged with Armed Robbery (Gun). But the search for justice is not over, as there remains one suspect at large, with authorities appealing to the public for assistance in their apprehension.
Images of the second suspect have been circulated online, captured on surveillance footage around the time of the robbery and shooting. These visuals have become a tool for both law enforcement and the community to locate and hold accountable those responsible for acts of violence. In the quest to find the remaining suspect, the MPD is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
