Edgewood Neighborhood Context
Edgewood is a compact Northeast D.C. neighborhood north of Rhode Island Avenue with a mix of rowhouses, apartments and institutional parcels, including nearby Brookland and Catholic University. The DC Office of Planning Brookland/Edgewood investment plan describes the area as a residential and institutional corridor served by Rhode Island Avenue and nearby Metro stations. Residents and local leaders have in recent years called for more investment and public-safety attention as development reshapes parts of the neighborhood.
Police said the investigation remains active and asked anyone with information to contact MPD. Officials said updates will be provided as they become available.
