WASHINGTON — A teenager has been arrested in a Southeast D.C. shooting that left a 14-year-old football player injured over a month ago. Police say the search continues for more suspects involved. Weeks after this shooting, the victim, Antione Manning, was shot and killed on the same block on Oct. 31.
The investigation began after officers with the Metropolitan Police Department responded to Birney Place Southeast, off of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, just before 1 p.m. on Oct. 9 for a shooting. At the scene, officers found a teen boy suffering from a gunshot wound.
He was taken to a local hospital to be treated for his injuries. On Halloween, Manning was shot again, this time fatally.
On Nov. 18, a 15-year-old boy, of Southeast, D.C., was arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for the Oct. 9 shooting, according to police.
Now, the police department says they are looking for additional suspects in the shooting incident that were seen on a nearby surveillance camera.
Anyone who can identify the suspects or who has knowledge of this incident should take no action but call police at 202-727-9099 or text your tip to the Department's TEXT 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.
