WASHINGTON, DC.- On Wednesday, a 24-year-old Waldorf, Maryland, man was taken into custody and jailed after being charged in connection with the targeted shooting death of a 28-year-old man that occurred last year in Southeast, D.C.

     According to D.C. Police Chief Pamela A. Smith, and as previously reported, on Wednesday, September 20, 2024, just shortly before 7:30 p.m., members of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department’s Sixth District responded to multiple 911 Emergency Calls reporting a shooting on the 5500 Block of B Street in Southeast, D.C.

     Upon arrival, Police Officers found a man, later identified as Christopher Robinson, 28, of Southeast, D.C., unresponsive on the ground, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Mr. Robinson was transported by DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services to a nearby hospital for treatment, where, despite life-saving efforts, Mr. Robinson tragically succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased on Friday, November 22, 2024.

     During the ensuing investigation, D.C. Homicide Branch Detectives, based on witness accounts and area video surveillance footage, were able to identify the suspect as Jahiem Brown, 24, Waldorf, Maryland, and the individual responsible for the shooting death of Mr. Robinson, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
