WASHINGTON — DC Police are investigating after an 18-year-old was shot dead Saturday night in Adams Morgan.
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch are looking into the details of what happened just after 10 p.m. in the 1700 Block of Euclid Street, Northwest.
Third District officers said that they responded to the location after someone reported that a person was hit by a car. Police said that when they arrived, they found a man who had been shot. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and after finding no signs consistent with life, the victim was pronounced dead.
The man's body remained on the scene until transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The man has since been identified as Temple Hills, Maryland resident Derron McQueen.
