MPD said a man was shot in Southeast just an hour earlier. He was not conscious when officers found him but he was breathing.
During a press conference, MPD Chief Pamela Smith said officers are investigating if the car was involved in both shootings.
“Both incidents tonight is again senseless violence that continues to happen in our community. This is completely unacceptable and our detectives will do everything that we can to bring these folks to justice,” said Chief Smith, during the press conference.
Anyone with information is asked to call MPD at (202) 727-9099 or text 50411.
