Police need your help to solve four crimes: two are homicides in Northeast and two are sexual abuse cases in Northwest Washington, D.C.
From Northeast the latest is a fatal shooting in the 900 block of 10th Street N.E. on Sept 29. Officers from the First District responded to a call of gunshots around 3:55 a.m. D.C. Fire and EMS personnel responding found an adult male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead and transferred to the Office of the Medical Examiner.
The adult male was identified as Eugene Clarke, 39, of Temple Hills, Md.
George Vaughn, an attorney that lives adjacent to the corner of where it happened, told his story. “What we heard at first started as an argument,” Vaughn said. “It was late in the night, so we thought somebody was drunk coming from H Street, and because when people walk, let’s be honest, they walk down this street here. Only locals park here in this area,” he said.
“Next thing we know there was a loud pop, then there was a pop, pop, pop, pop,” Vaughn continued. “And that was it.”
Detectives are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred on Sept. 25 at 2:42 a.m. in the 400 block of Riggs Road Northeast. The victim, Marcellus Thomas, 22, of Northeast D.C., was pronounced dead, and transported to the Office of the Medical Examiner.
Police have not uncovered a suspect in either case.
