WASHINGTON (AP) — A feud among neighbors, three shootings and five murders have DC police trying to stop more paybacks in an area known for drugs and violence just 7 miles from the White House.
Tuesday night, a drive-by shooting killed four and wounded five people, who had just returned from the funeral of Jorden Howe, a man slain nearby. A 20-year-old male, who was wounded in the third shooting, is a suspect in the other two shootings.
DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier called it the worst shooting in D.C. in at least 16 years.
Two men and a 14-year-old boy were charged with first-degree murder after DC Police chased a silver van into Prince George's County, MD and back into Washington. One of the suspects, Orlando Carter, also has been charged with second-degree murder in the March 22 shooting of Jordan Howe.
On March 23, Carter was shot in the head and shoulder hours after his brother was arrested in Howe's death.
OK..this is close to insane!! This one killed that one for killing that one. This would be just another bad movie if it were not a real case involving real people, real murders. I will not finish this story because it is sick! The secondary story might be how were these people brought up, when did killing become the way to solve a neighborhood dispute? It seems the killing began over a missing gold-colored bracelet.
