D.C. police responded to the 1400 block of H Street Northeast on May 30 around 12:45 p.m. for the report of a shooting.
When officers arrived at the scene of the crime — in front of Tony's Place — they found one man suffering from gunshot wounds. A preliminary investigation by police revealed that a disgruntled customer allegedly shot the employee.
Medics drove the victim to the hospital, police said, but at this time his condition has not been disclosed.
Police are looking for a thin man with long dreads tied into a bun. He was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and white shoes. If you see this man, police are advising you not to approach him. Instead, call 911.
