WASHINGTON — DC Police are asking for the public's help to find a car wanted in connection to a shooting over the weekend that sent a person to the hospital on Saturday. Investigators are asking anyone who recognizes the car to come forward.
On Saturday, Jan. 20, police were called to the 3400 block of 13th Street Southeast, near Malcolm X Elementary School for a report of a shooting. When officers arrived on scene just before 1:30 p.m., they discovered a person had been shot. That person was taken to an area hospital with injuries not thought to be life-threatening.
Investigators learned that after the shooting, the shooter left in a blue Hyundai Tucson with DC tag JB9372. The car was captured on surveillance camera nearby. Police shared an image of the car, hoping someone recognizes it.
Anyone who recognizes the car, or may have information that will help detectives with their investigation, should call police at 202-727-9099 or text the department's tip line at 50411. The Metropolitan Police Department currently offers a reward of up to $10,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for a violent crime committed in the District of Columbia.
Those providing tips should reference case number 24009794, police said.
