Second man killed in Southeast Saturday morning

A man was shot and killed in Southeast D.C. early Saturday morning, just hours after a separate fatal shooting elsewhere in Southeast, according to police.

Police responding to reports of shooting on the 2600 block of Douglas Street SE at 5:18 a.m., found a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police had not yet notified the man’s next of kin as of Saturday afternoon, and declined to release the victim’s name.

A double shooting three hours earlier in Southeast D.C. left one man dead and another hospitalized.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the District police 202-727-9099. Those wishing to remain anonymous can text 50411.
