Numbers reported by the Metropolitan Police Department show decreases in violent and property crimes for 2024 compared to this point in 2023.

The shooting happened Sunday in a residential neighborhood on North Carolina Avenue Northeast.
Surveillance video shows a blue Honda sedan with dark, tinted windows pull up to the pump at the Exxon gas station.
Moments later, the person of interest gets out, walks to the cashier, and another camera shows him paying.
