I’m deeply saddened to share the heartbreaking news that the young man shot Thursday afternoon in Tenleytown has passed away as a result of his injuries. My heart goes out to his loved ones and the entire community as we mourn this loss.

Around 4:30 pm today, a shooting occurred on the 4500 block of Wisconsin Avenue in Tenleytown, involving an 18-year-old male who was found in the alley with a gunshot wound. He was conscious and breathing when transported to a local hospital and is currently in serious condition while receiving medical treatment. My thoughts are with him and his family tonight.
I spoke directly with the MPD Second District Commander when I visited the scene this evening, and my office remains is in communication with the Second District as more details emerge. I will share updates as they are confirmed. In the meantime, I urge anyone with information to contact MPD at 202-727-9099 or text 50411. This act of violence in the heart of our community is deeply distressing, and it underscores the urgent need to address gun violence and invest in our young people. Thank you for your continued care for our neighbors as we navigate this evolving situation together.

Today, we celebrate Emancipation Day, a historic milestone for the District and our nation. On April 16, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act, which ended slavery in Washington, DC, and freed more than 3,100 people. The signing came eight months before the Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved people in the South. The District’s history is built on the culture and leadership of our Black neighbors, and that legacy continues to drive our fight for self-determination and statehood. It is heartening to see diverse neighbors from every background standing together to protect and expand the rights of DC residents today. All are welcome to join the celebrations this weekend at the 21st Annual DC Emancipation Day Parade and Festival.
