WASHINGTON — A second teenager has been charged in connection to a Southeast, D.C. shooting in March 2023 that left two people dead and another person injured.
The 17-year-old boy was charged Friday after being extradited from Florida.
Investigators say the deadly shooting occurred on Bruce Place in Southeast on March 7 of last year. Just before 8 p.m., police found two people shot. One of the victims was later identified as 23-year-old Dana Faulker, of Southeast, D.C. He died on Bruce Place. The second victim was taken to an area hospital for treatment and is expected to be ok.
Shortly after, officers responded to a report of an unconscious person at the intersection of Wheeler Road and Mississippi Avenue, Southeast. Once there, officers located 15-year-old Abdul Fuller, of Southeast, D.C. He had been shot. Fuller was pronounced dead a few hours after being taken to an area hospital. Police say he was injured in the Bruce Place shooting.
In December of 2023, police arrested their first suspect in connection this shooting. The 19-year-old man, of Northeast, DC, was charged with first-degree murder while armed.
The second suspect, a 17-year-old boy, of Northeast, D.C., was arrested on June 11.
