WASHINGTON — A 13-year-old boy is facing charges after police say he killed his father in Northwest D.C. Sunday morning.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, officers were called to the 3100 block of 16th Street Northwest around 8 a.m. to help DC Fire and EMS crews with reports of a "man down" inside a building.
When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from what they described as "puncture wound injuries." The man, later identified as 41-year-old Travis Dash, of Northwest, D.C. died at the scene.
During the investigation, detectives determined Dash's death stemmed from a domestic incident and identified his son, a 13-year-old boy, as a suspect in his death.
The unidentified 13-year-old boy has since been charged with second-degree murder while armed.
Police have not released any information as to why the teen may have killed his father or what happened in the moments leading up to Dash's death.
Anyone with information may contact detectives at (202) 727-9099 or text the department's tip line at 50411.
