Investigators believe it's connected to a shooting that killed a man in Southeast D.C. Saturday night.

It happened at the intersection of 13th and Alabama Ave. Southeast, steps away from the Congress Heights Metro.

On the scene was a black car with bullet holes in the driver's side window.

Police say when they got here they found the victim shot, unconscious and not breathing. He died at the hospital.

The teen, 16-year-old Darren Johnson, did not survive.

β€œThe gun violence in D.C. is crazy, man. It needs to come to a cease,” Williams said. β€œWe need to get everything under control. I feel like we need more security in our communities.”
