Detectives have not ruled out suicide, and police said it is possible the shooter acted in self defense.
While police initially classified the shooting of 32-year-old Emmanuel Lys a homicide, officials said at a community meeting Wednesday that detectives have not ruled out a suicide. Police also said it is possible that a person shot Lys in the neck in self-defense or that his death was an accident.
D.C. Police Cmdr. James M. Boteler, who heads the Third District station, said at the Zoom meeting with concerned residents: “We don’t know the exact circumstances of how that firearm went off.”Boteler added that police “don’t know if it was a suicide. We don’t know if there was malicious intent.” He said the person being sought “was present at the tent when the firearm went off and we want to speak to him.” That person’s identity has not been disclosed.
Efforts to contact Lys’s family in Malden in suburban Boston have been unsuccessful. Price said it appears Lys had been at the encampment for some time and was known to some outreach workers.
