WASHINGTON – Police are investigating a shooting in the Southeast that left a 19-year-old dead.

On Saturday, Washington, DC police were called to the 1400 block of Howard Road shortly after 9:30 p.m. for a report of a shooting. When officers arrived, they found evidence of the shooting, but no victim.

Prince George’s County Police responded shortly thereafter to a multi-vehicle crash in the 2400 block of Southern Avenue, Southeast. There, police found Demetrius Creek unconscious and unresponsive, suffering from a gunshot wound. It is unclear if he was the driver or the cause of the car crash.
