WASHINGTON — One man is dead after being shot outside the Columbia Heights Metro Station Wednesday night. Another man is injured as a result of the same shooting.
At 9:21 p.m., officers with the Metropolitan Police Department heard the sounds of gunshots and responded to the 3000 block of 14th Street to investigate.
At the scene, officers discovered a man who had been shot. He was declared dead on scene and taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for further examination.
A short time later, police responded to the 1300 block of Columbia Road for a report of a second victim involved in the same shooting.
At the scene, officers located a man who had also been shot. He was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The victim of this double shooting has since been identified as 33-year-old Kevin Scott of District Heights, D.C.
District Commander James Boteler said the shooting happened near the intersection of 14th and Irving while police were patrolling in the area.
"In fact, an officer had just driven through this intersection about 30 to 60 seconds prior, and was turning into this alley when the sounds of gunshots rang out," Boteler said during a press conference Wednesday night.
When officers turned around and began searching for victims, they found the man shot dead just in front of the Metro platform, Boteler said. The other victim was found a short time later about a block away.
Police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Police have not released any information about the suspect in this case, and no arrests have been made.
Boteler urged people who live in the area to contact police if they heard or saw anything.
The homicide investigation remains active and ongoing.
Anyone who may have information about this case is asked to call Metropolitan Police Department homicide detectives at 202-727-9099 or text the department's tip line at 50411.
