WASHINGTON - Authorities are searching for an SUV with a unique license plate they say was captured on surveillance video in connection with the shooting death of a 16-year-old boy last week in the District.

The teen victim was identified as Mylaki Young of northwest D.C.. He was struck by bullets in the stomach before he fled inside a building. He was then transported to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. Bullets also struck some of the nearby buildings but no other injuries were reported.
Police say the suspect’s vehicle is described as a brown, 2013 Lincoln MKX, four-door SUV, with DC tags bearing "DOMINGA". The vehicle was captured by a nearby surveillance camera.
Investigators are offering a reward of up to $25,000 to anyone who provides information which leads to the arrest and conviction in the case.
