The first shooting, which occurred about 6:30 p.m. Thursday, was the only fatality. Police said a man was shot in the courtyard of an apartment complex in the center of the Columbia Heights neighborhood. D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham, who responded to the shooting, said police reviewed surveillance video that shows a hooded gunman who walked up to the victim and fired. The assailant then walked away. The fact that the shooting happened steps away from a playground and streets busy with vehicles and pedestrians added to the “reckless” and “brazen” nature of the incident, Newsham said.
Police said about 11:10 p.m., a man was shot in the 2900 block of Nelson Place SE, near Minnesota Avenue and the Dupont Park neighborhood.
