A shooting on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., claimed the lives of two men Sunday night as the city’s murder rate surges past last year’s numbers.
One man was still alive when the pair was found around 8:20 p.m. inside an SUV in the 500 block of 11th Street SE, a mixed use area about a mile southeast of the Capitol, the Washington Post reported.
That man later died at a hospital, following the other man’s death at the scene, 1st Police District commander Tasha Bryant said. The victim who died in the car has been identified as 34-year-old Othaniel Gaither, a resident of southeast D.C., the Post reported.
No arrests had been made by Monday afternoon, the Post reported.
