D.C. police have continued investigating a Friday night shooting in the 2300 block of 4th Street, Northeast, that left one man wounded and another dead.
Police said officers with the Fifth District responded to reports of a shooting at an apartment building near the intersection of 4th Street and Rhode Island Avenue NE.
When police arrived, they discovered one adult male inside of an apartment building who was unconscious and unresponsive, reportedly suffering from a single gunshot wound.
