WASHINGTON — Police are investigating after a man was shot to death in Northeast D.C. late Monda night. 

Officers with the Metropolitan Police Department responded to 14th Street Northeast, nearby Saratoga Avenue Northeast, around 11:20 p.m. after a report of a shooting in the area. Upon arrival at the scene, they found a man suffering from several gunshot wounds, which sparked an investigation. 

The man was taken to a local hospital in critical condition to seek treatment. 

Police have since identified the victim as 58-year-old Kevin Lewis. His death marks the 99th homicide in D.C. so far this year. Homicide is up 15% from the same time in 2022 when MPD received only 85 reported homicides.

No person of interest or motive information has been released in the case, but police are searching for answers as to what led up to the incident. 

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the police at 202-727-9099. Additionally, anonymous information may be submitted to the department’s text tip line by sending a text message to 50411.
