D.C. police are searching for a suspect who shot a man dead in broad daylight while he was carrying a baby and holding the hand of a five-year-old child.
The unnamed man was fatally shot multiple times at close range in Northeast D.C. while he held a baby in a car seat and accompanied the other kid, Metropolitan Police said on Friday morning.
‘It appears he was targeted by this shooter. This individual walked up, shot him with the children right there,’ Executive Assistant Chief of Police Ashan Benedict said.
Police have not specified the relationship between the children and the victim but the kids were uninjured in the shooting and are currently safe with their mother, police said.
Authorities are now asking for the public’s help to track down the suspect, who is described as a black male last seen wearing gray sweatpants and a black mask.
