MPD has released surveillance video and a still image as it asks the public to help identify an additional suspect in the September 27 shooting on 14th Street NW. The department’s notice does not specify the person’s role; FOX 5 DC also reported that authorities had not specified that detail. MPD’s notice contains the current request.
The shooting was reported at about 1 p.m. in the 2700 block of 14th Street NW, according to MPD. The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment. FOX 5 DC reported that authorities had not released the victim’s identity or an updated condition.
Other 14th Street and neighborhood context
MPD reported a separate shooting in the 2000 block of 14th Street NW on December 7, 2025, at approximately 5:45 a.m. Police said that victim’s injuries were non-life-threatening, according to the department’s notice.
As separate neighborhood context, the D.C. Office of the Attorney General said InnerCity Collaborative CDC would run a Cure the Streets site in Brightwood Park/Petworth and part of Columbia Heights (Wards 1 and 4). The announcement does not connect the program to this shooting.
The current appeal follows an earlier request in the investigation. On September 28, MPD sought help identifying four persons of interest shown in surveillance images, according to Congress Heights on the Rise. The department’s latest notice seeks help identifying an additional suspect.
Police arrested a 15-year-old boy from Northeast DC on October 1 and charged him with assault with intent to kill while armed with a gun, according to MPD. The department is offering up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and indictment of those responsible. Anyone with information is asked to call 202-727-9099 or text 50411.
