The location of the O Street incident took place in an open-air drug market. D.C. police routinely monitors the area and makes arrests for narcotics violations.

"We're trying to be as resourceful as we possibly can to put our officers and our detectives and our specialized units where the crime is," an MPD official said at the time. "Unfortunately, that crime just keeps moving around. We'll be on one block, and we'll displace criminals to another area where they'll be shootings over there."
