Eric Tarpinian-Jachym was an intern for Kansas Rep. Ron Estes.
A 21-year-old congressional intern was killed Monday night after getting caught in targeted gunfire in Northwest Washington, D.C., police said.
Police and congressional officials identified the victim as Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, of Granby, Massachusetts, who died Tuesday after being shot near the intersection of 7th and M Street.
Investigators have recovered the suspect vehicle and stated that while the shooting was targeted, Tarpinian-Jachym was not among the intended victims.
Tarpinian-Jachym, who had been serving as an intern for Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kan.) since June, was a rising senior at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where he was majoring in finance with a minor in political science.
