The November shooting marked the city's 249th homicide.

D.C., DC — A Southeast, D.C. man was arrested on Friday for a shooting that killed a man in Southwest

Roy Jordan, 21, has been charged with first-degree murder while armed. 

On Nov. 20, D.C. Police officers were called to South Capitol Street Southeast, near 1st Street Southwest, around 9:30 p.m. after receiving a report of a shooting. When officers arrived, they found a man who was unconscious and not breathing on the sidewalk. The victim, identified as 29-year-old Gary Lavon Love III, was taken to a hospital. He died the next morning. 

In previous reporting, WUSA9 was told shortly after the incident that it was classified as a double shooting when a second man was found injured nearby.
