Theo

A man was killed and a young woman and a second man were injured in a shooting on Friday in the Anacostia region of southeastern Washington, police said.

The shooting was reported around 6 p.m. in the 1600 block of W Street SE, police spokesman Officer Hugh Carew said.

The address is a residential street about three blocks south of Marion Barry Avenue SE, the main thoroughfare in the Anacostia area. The avenue was formerly called Good Hope Road.

There was initially no information about the suspects or the motive for the shooting.

The injured female child was described by Carew as an older teenager.

The name of the fatally wounded man was not released. The last available report on the two injured stated that both were conscious and breathing when they were taken to hospital.

There was initially no information about the suspects or the motive for the shooting. A connection between the three people shot could not initially be established.

Another case involves the death of a man who was shot two years ago and died earlier this year; his death is being investigated as a manslaughter, police said Friday.

Cesar Barrera, 40, was shot in the 2500 block of Pomeroy Road SE on May 10 and died of his injuries on Feb. 7, police said. An autopsy in May determined he died as a result of gunshot wounds, and his death was ruled a homicide, police said.
