Avery Miler is facing a first-degree murder warrant for the August killing of Baltimore’s Aryeh Wolf
The suspect wanted for the August murder of a solar panel employee from Baltimore allegedly fired at Washington, D.C., police officers on Tuesday, evaded arrest and remains at large.
Avery Miler, facing a D.C. superior court arrest warrant for first-degree murder in the Aug. 10 shooting of 25-year-old Aryeh Wolf, was spotted at approximately 6:22 a.m. Tuesday in the 5300 block of Ames Street, Assistant Chief Leslie Parsons of the DC Metropolitan Police Department’s Investigative Services Bureau, told reporters at a press conference.
Officers from the 6th district responded to a 911 call from a female citizen about the sighting and spotted a suspect at the scene matching the description.
The suspect — a 27-year-old Black male last seen wearing all black clothing — then produced a firearm, believed to be a handgun, and discharged several rounds in the direction of officers before fleeing on foot, Parsons said, adding that luckily none of the officers were injured. The suspect has white lettering or symbols down the sleeve of his shirt and was wearing some form of reflective shoes, Parsons said. Officers did not return fire.
The U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were also involved in the search. Though the DC Police Department initially tweeted that Miler fled into a residential building after firing at officers and was barricaded inside, Parsons clarified to reporters that officers established a perimeter out several blocks and continued to search the area.
